I had those shots. They injected pain medicine first, three on each side, then the long needles six times on each side. I was crying when my husband came in. He has never seen me cry over shots before. They were BAD.

Hi ive had the lot and found that they were painful but manageable. The worst ones are the radiofrequency injections however its worth the pain as long as they work so fingers crossed that yours do. Sometimes the pain can be worse the first week then hopefully relief. Good luck
