Yeah for the pills its like you have to tolerate being on a roller coaster for the duration. But it cures what ails you. They gave it to me for a vicious lip thing.
The shot, if its what im thinking, they shoot straight into the injured area. I dont know how the shoot it into bone. But they say it relieves the pain, but you cant keep getting it (like every year or twice a year) because the shot eventually weakens the site - the bones or muscle or whatever. Maybe get physical therapy to build it up after you relieve the pain.
