He's always very nice and gentle he is a great doctor I just hope he can get my pain away forever I got different shots today I don't know if they're recording I don't feel the same I did the first time this time I like three or four injections I hope the next time I don't have to wait so maybe just takes a while to kick in as I'm still in pain but not bad
