I need some of these in my tailpipe under x ray as my coxcyx is not staying where it's supposed to and bloody hurts..

Anyone had anything similar and did it work?

They were trying to address a condition that was not the cause of my problem, therefore the injections did not have the desired result, still smarted though!

Had similar in my foot done under x-ray to get right in between the joints of my 4th and 5th metatarsal after regular cortisone injections didn't work. Unfortunately the procedure didn't work for me and now on tablets to try and sort the problem.

I think it's important to understand what the injection does; it damps down inflammation.

It doesn't treat the cause, it won't just magically make things better, and it is not a long term fix.

Crikey, I know what the injections do it has been very well explained to me, but after the initial injection which got rid of about 70% of the pain the others have done nothing.

Had one in my knee some time ago. No problems but it didn't help much
