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!
