Yes repeat ESI: If you got better with the first epidural steroid injection (ESI), and if you have some pain left over, repeating the ESI is a good idea. If you did not get getter with the first ESI, then it will be unlikely you will get better with repeat injections. You should remember that doctors only do 3 injections in 6 months to 12 months. Therefore, try not to wast these injections if you do not need them
