Glycerol Injection

Hi there, my friend had the glycerol injection done on Friday, 4 days ago and has had no relief from it so far. I have read that it can take up to 2-6 weeks to take effect. Has anyone else had the injection? How long did it take to kick in? And how long did it actually last?

Am wondering if there is any connection with how long it takes to kick in to how long it lasts?

Thanx

      Hi, wish i could say he's better, but not much really. Maybe a 20-25% improvement, not enough to help much. Has been trying the capsacian internally for the past week or so, and is having more success with this!
