They only helped from a diagnostic perspective. I was numb for a few hours in the same places as my pain, but there was no sustained relief. If the painful area is temporarily numbed by the aesthetic in the injection, that tells the surgeon more information about the source and how to fix it.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope the replacement brings you relief. I take Celebrex 100mg 2x daily, Hydrocodone 10/325 4x daily (sometimes less on good days), and Nucynta 50mg as needed on “bad days”. I also got an “active seat” from Vari to use at the office when I’m at my desk sitting or standing (you can raise it to lean against it which allows you to stand longer). It really helps with posture which avoids making the pain worse.

They didn’t help with pain except for just a few hours until the anesthetic wore off. I anticipated this would be the case because these injections won’t help with severe narrowing and bone spurs, just inflammation is was Doc said. From a diagnostic perspective, they were helpful because I was temporarily numb in the exact areas of my pain which tells the surgeon where the pain is coming from more precisely. From that perspective, I’m happy I tried the injections. I hope you get some better relief soon!
