Hi there, the injections do work after a few days, but for me they lasted a couple of weeks x I use crutches or wheelchair to get about, I done really go out much as I get in a muddle or I walk so strange it makes me paranoid what people think x. I am having a spinal fusion within the next 8weeks on l5 s1 x
