1. That highly depends on two things...

1. How much steroids you are being given

2. How well the steroids reduce the inflamation around the disc.

2. I once had a cortisone shot in my wrist. It was very painful. I have since discovered a drug free non-invasive way to reduce inflammation - I use this product for my back and my knees. Its called actipatch. Works like a charm, easy to use and a good value since it lasts so long.
