Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Dear; thanks for using our service and will try to help you with my medical advice. The importance of how you are going to respond in long term depends on the reason of your pain, if it is a herniated disc, muscle spasm or spinal stenosis . There is no timeframe that I can tell you but if you use a back support and avoid heavy lifting it should last longer. If your back problem is severe,you might need another shot. Usually is not recommended more than one shot every 3 months, no more than 3 in a year.
Please give thanks if I helped you with my advise.
