Very hard to sit for any length of time walking even worse,shots are in lower back. Had MRI to show all this before I agreed to the shots. So have a MRI to really see what you have I waited for 8 months before I even went to the Dr. Iwished I had fixing it now I hope. S1 and L5. Hope to be a Villager soon still trying its been 2 yrs.
Can relate to your post a bit....except for the knee and also back location. Had the shot this a.m. and we'll see how it "took". It wasn't hard to go through. I was told Dr. P (his name is long and hard to pronounce) is "THE" best (told me by the nurse) to have this procedure done. He seems pretty thorough!!
