Depends!: If injected im, you were getting a quick dose of cortisone. Won't last. On the other side, if the muscular trigger point was injected, expect longer relief!

Diagnosis?: The answer is likely yes. It depends on the cause of the pain. Have you seen a doctor? You may have sacroiliac pain or piraformis syndrome.
