I got two series of shots over a six month period. He froze the area where he was going to give me the shot and I didn't feel a thing. I only wish I knew whether or not it was cortisone. He told me when I first went in that it works for some and not for others. He also said that it may last for a month or longer, the only thing I know is that when or even if it comes up again, I'm getting another one.

I just recently met with a pain management specialist and when we discussed that she said that different specialists approach them differently. Meaning that they each do it in a different way. I don't want to ever have another one (too much unnecessary pain) but her comment got me thinking and I might try another one. Hopefully they'll help you though!
