Questions for your doctor about injection therapy

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with healthcare professionals regarding their condition or test. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about injection therapy:

  1. What are your feelings about the effectiveness of injection therapies?

  2. What type of injection therapy might help me?

  3. How should I prepare for the procedure?

  4. Should I have someone drive me to and from the procedure?

  5. How long will the procedure take?

  6. What are the risks associated with the procedure?

  7. Will there be any limits on my daily activity following the injection?

  8. Will I require follow-up injections?

  9. What other types of treatments might help prevent my pain from returning?

  10. What are my options if injection therapy does not relieve my symptoms?
