Karin:

The medication for the injections can be much more than diagnostic though it may take time to get the relief that may come with them. I had SI joint injections every three months for the first year after my ADR surgery. It usually took a couple of weeks before I got the full effects of the injections and I got significant relief from them. I did not get any for almost a complete year and then started having some SI joint pain again near Christmas time. I then got two SI joint injections a couple of weeks before Christmas and it took longer to get the full effects this time. It took three weeks to get the full effects but I have not had any issues since. The injections usually will contain a steroid which can be quite beneficial in providing some relief to the aggravated area. Please let us know if it does start working for you in a week or so. It is going to take some time to heal from this very major surgery you had.

Hang in there.
