Due to severe pain I was given a steriod injection in my bum.
How long will it work for??
Its been 3 weeks and my joints seem to being 'gritty' again.
Is it starting to wear off?
Thanks.....again.

Hi Rob
Unfortunately, the injection could be wearing off. We are all different and what works a few months for one, does not for another. I have had injections in my spine relatively recently and all brilliant for 5 days. Unfortunately I managed to slip down three of the stairs indoors and the pain is as bad as it ever was. Dreading telling the consultant in a couple of week as I am sure the fall undid his work. :oops: I am also wondering what if anything can be done for me now.

Hi Rob
maybe so
They vary so much from person to person as Elna says.
Sometimes they will give you oral steroids to if you are really in trouble?
Elna you poor thing - I did the same last wek the last three! Trying to save the glasses I was holding(idiot) and what a bruise on my bum.
I hope the consultant says not your fault.
5 days is lovely to be pain free eh?
Take care

Hi, my first steroid injection lasted about a month. It does vary from person to person as to how long they last.
