at least this time they only did 2 injections instead of the 6 they did last time,but this time he went realy deep and the local realy didn't help and it doesn't help that I have a lot of muscle to go through and I could feel it when he finley got down to the nerve it was like getting stabbed by a pencil and having it twisted around the pain shot throug my hip and down to my toes.It is supposed to take a few days for the steriod to take effect and relive the inflammation but again I am in more pain that when I went in.The thing is with this treatment is for each site you get stuck 3-4 times in each hole,the frist few to deaden it then the one to the spine to inject the dye and steroid which is alot of fluid and adds alot of pressure to a aready angry nerve!
