Neck n shoulder pain 2 years. did steroid jab c5/6/7 4 days ago. no improvement. jab failed?

Maybe, maybe not: Steroid injections can take up to 7-10 days to start working, so be patient. I've seen patients where the injection told 2 weeks to work. If you get no relief, whatever they injected is probably not causing your pain so your docs will need to look for another cause.
