It may also take more than one shot to relieve some of your symptoms... don't fret over surgery yet - there are still other things to try first. If your injury is less than 6 months old, then it's possible it will subside on it's own (at least the pain can!).

remember P.A.I.N. - but not necessarily in that order....

P  - physical therapy (don't give up after 1-2 weeks. It can take time)
A -  acupunture (it really works well for some people)
I -   injections (don't give up if the first one did not work)
N -  NSAIDS or other meds to control the pain and inflamation
