Marc,
I've had my share of ESI's and i always feel like i've been beaten up the days after, mostly the next day.
after that the pain from the injections subsides and only then can i tell if it will help. My most dramatic help were the ones i got after surgery , well 20 days later. I went in barely able to put weight on my right leg and it cleared up in the days following to feeling like a normal leg. It is still good although i did have a few days of some return of mild to moderate symptoms.

My doc always makes us wait 10 days to decide if they helped.
I wish you the best. I used a lot of ice for the beat up feeling.
