Hi, repeated injections may not be of help, first thing is don't feel the pain, practice some diversio procedures like yoga, meditation, reading books, and hearing music.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days and to be continued one injection every week. Pain killers , and anxiolytics for quite some time . Thank you.
