Some people notice an improvement within a few days, although it can take longer. Your clinician will explain what to expect based on your individual symptoms and treatment.
The duration of pain relief varies from person to person and depends on the underlying condition. Some people experience relief for several weeks or longer, while others may have less benefit.
