My doctor gave me a trigger point injection in the piriformis muscle immediately over the sciatic nerve. I was fairly freaked out over the entire procedure as it was so abrupt I didn't have time to prepare myself. And I have a Band-Aid lost in my underwear somewhere!
Hope it works, but have to admit I laughed over the lost Band - Aid. :oops:

Is that 'The Shot' you were hoping for?
What was the drug injected and how long will it relieve the pain?

No. This was just in the spasming muscle over the nerve to try to control the worst of the pain. It takes between 24 and 72 hours to take effect.

THE SHOT will go through the foramina in the sacrum directly into the inflamed S1 nerve with a big honkin' needle.
