Frankly we don't know. I've had a few of these and not had any success at all, others find them effective for up to three months or maybe longer. Sometimes they kick in within days, sometimes it's longer. DD

Thanks Daisy yeah I did a search and it all seems a bit grey I really hope it is it working and it does for a while one side effect I do have is a very dry and bad taste in my mouth in the morning

These usually worked for me within a few days but everyone is different. I hope you do get some relief, Teabag.

I usually feel the benefit (more flexibility / less pain) from a depo injection within days and find they tend to last me around 8 weeks. x

I had one in my knee a few years ago now, I remember getting some relief within a few days, but didn't last long, everyone's so different with them..I hope you are now getting some relief from yours please let us know

For me, if the depo worked I would feel the benefits in a few days. It's important to rest for about 48 hours post-injection to give it the best chance of working.

Many people on here say a few days and my rheum said up to a week. However, I've had quite a few depots and I've always found that it takes up to a couple of weeks to take effect. I've not been told to rest either but I've seen it advised on here, so I do try to rest.

I get mine in my bottom, lots of flesh there.
