Sleep...perchance to dream.

Have you talked to any of your docs about the fact that the shots are wearing off already? I work with two people who get similar shots on a regular basis. They have never suggested that they are only effective for a couple of weeks. I would call your doc and the doc that gave you the shots to discuss what's going on.

I already have, but my specialist doesn't want to see me until after I've been to a few PT sessions but we did move our follow-up appointment up to a little over 3 weeks from now rather than the late Feb date I did have. From what both doctors have told me, these injections don't work for everyone, and the length of time for which they are effective differ widely from person to person. You can only have these shots 3 times in a year's time and some people don't get lasting relief until the second or third set of shots.

Also spoke with my PCP today, and he wants to see me get a few PT sessions before we decide to make a change...
