After receiving an epidural shot, patients may experience temporary relief from pain, particularly in the lower back or legs. However, some common aftereffects can include localized soreness at the injection site, headaches, or a feeling of numbness or weakness in the legs. Rarely, complications such as infection, nerve damage, or allergic reactions may occur. It's essential for patients to monitor their symptoms and communicate with their healthcare provider if they experience any concerning aftereffects.

How long after having a facet block on the low back will you know if it is working or not?
It depends on the shots you receive. I recently had two such appointments. the First time, I had an epidural with 2 facet block injections. The following time I had an epidural only. With the epidural / facet block, I could tell by the end of the day that it had worked. My particular situation only flares up while I am sleeping. When I had just the epidural, it did not help me at all. Now, you must remember that results will be different with each individual.
