If the injection works, will I be pain-free for good?

There’s no guarantee of being pain-free for good, as an underlying condition such as arthritis could get worse, or a new injury could develop. If this injection works for you, it tells your consultant where your pain comes from and allows them to work out the best pain management for you based on that diagnosis. Our pain medicine experts are focused on long-term management and will be happy to talk to you about prevention strategies to help reduce the chance of pain returning.
