Cortisone shot in back

I had a cortisone shot in my lower back to relieve the back pain and the numbness and tingling I have in my feet/ankles after standing or walking. It really hasn't relieved the pain or tingling and I now have pain in the middle section of my back. Is it worth getting another shot?

Apparently, it is a series of 3 shots and I had my 2nd shot this past week. So will see what happens, so far, nothing.
