How long does it take for the SI joint injections to give relief?

Hi Cindylou,
Ive had S1 injections twice, sadly the first time they didnt work, but I was told that they may well not as I had severe nerve compression for a lengthened period of time. I have them again 3 months ago for nerve impingement from scar tissue after my fusion and im glad to say that they worked straight away, as soon as I got up the sciatica in both legs had gone, the injections are still keeping the nerve pain at bay 3 months on, I get twinges every now and then but no where near as painful as it was, and I hope that they hold out until after my revision surgery, as they have been a godsend this time.
I wish you the very best of luck with the injections and hope that they are a success for you.
hugs
