Steroid injection for sacroiliac joint question

This is my 1st post here. I am wondering if the benefits of the steroid shot can vary from one day to another. Sometimes I think the shot suddenly stopped working then the next day I get good relief. Adding to the confusion is the relief I get from a drug called Cymbalta (DULoxetine). 30 mg every morning. That drug works better than any other drug I tried.

Thanks for reading!

    Morning @Bud and welcome to the online community.

    Sorry to hear your concerns about steroid shot pain relief.

    I have had steroids injections and yes on and off pain relief. Duration of time another issue sometimes weeks sometimes months but do enjoy the relief they give but still confused !

    Glad you have found a drug (Cymbalta) that works for you to.

    So no you are not alone and I am sure others will connect with you soon.

    Best wishes @Naomi33
