The lidocaine in there numbs everything, and then wears off.

The steroid, will continue to work for a while.

I've had 2 of those shots over the years for my sesaomoids, and one for my left ankle. I found them temporary.

If inflammation is present, then the steroid will work some over time. But the numbing of the Lidocaine does wear off, that is to be expected.
