The pain started to go almost immediately , all I had was a dull ache for about a day after then it disappeared I have been fine since, occasionaly when I over do it I get left with a burning like sensation where the pain used to be, but it has definatley been worth it and getting better every day. I had my injection 3 weeks ago.

with in 2 hrs...

Within 2-4 hours. My mom had them about every 3 weeks for her foot. The shots only lasted her a few days of no pain. I would consider a long term more effective treatment. There's also long term risks and damage from these shots.

almost immediate. I have also found that it doesn't mask an injury but actually speeds the healing process. It keeps inflamation down.

It doesn't actually help the pain, but brings down inflammation. I've had two, one in each hip for tendonitis/bursitis.

The first hip was the less painful of the two, and I noticed relief in a day or two. The second one hurt more before it started getting better, but it was feeling pretty good in three days. Ice helped the pain before the injection started working. Since the injections, I've worked on getting my hips back into shape. I've been feeling better since then, and it's been almost 2 years.

I had one in my knee a couple of months ago. It started to feel better within 24 hours and the relief lasted about two weeks.

it was painful as the injection went into the elbow where I was experiencing horrific agony and within a few hours no pain really wonderful and I have not had trouble with my elbow since thank goodness

i had one in each foot to alleviate pain/inflammation. pain lessened right away and eventually my feet returned to normal, but the shot hurt alot! ouchie!
