They're a patch. They give temporary relief. If you use the shots to help you work out and rehabilitate, and you actually do the work, if it takes a number of them to get you to the goal, they're great.
I have had 4 and regret all but the first one. The first one gives some light to the tunnel, but it negatively effects the body and is not a cure. I'd rather live with some extra pain and know where I stand then rely on temporary shot of cortisone. The false sense "healing" the cortisone shot gives could put you back further if not careful. If what you do hurts, you know how far is safe to go.
