For effective of injection it depends on how much nerve compression is there . Before any comment needs more details on history and MRI imaging
Next Steps
better do teleconsultation or consult doctor in person

If you know the problem in spine wand imaging is done then go ahead. Otherwise requires proper diagnosis before injection.
Thanks
