Steroid Epidermal Inj's.
UpdatedHow long can one expect relief to last, and how often can inj's. be given? What should I request from my doctor for severe lower back pain and numbness to my right leg and burning hip?

Hello, John! How are you?
There's really no way to say how long you can expect relief, because it can vary from person to person. They are usually given every 3 to 4 months.
As to what you can request for pain, it would actually be best not to require a specific medication. Most doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior. The best approach would be to inform them of your continuing pain and let them suggest a solution.
Does anyone else have any ideas or advice to offer?
