A member asked:
After you get a lumbar injection, if it doesn't work, how long before it can be redone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumbar injection: Depending on what you were injected with will determine how frequent it can be done. If it was a steroid injection, 4-6 months is what a patient must wait before getting another.
