Got corticosteriod in 8 locations of iliopsoas. 45% of the pain still remains. 9 days over. did it really work? it was depomodrel + lidocaine shot.

Depends on pt: 55% improvement of pain is pretty good. Often, a 2nd or even 3rd set of shots may need to be done to achieve complete pain relief. It all depends on the patient - some patients would be completely satisfied with 55% improvement, while others would definitely want further treatment.
