Someone Please Tell Me About "shots."

I've gotten steroid injections at specific target.
I've gotten nonsteroid injections for general area.
Not supposed to come back for 3 months. I've always been ready to return at 2 months.
NOW I've been sent on supposedly for epidural (numbing the whole spine?) It supposed to be good for a year?

I read people's posts here... seems there are lots of kinds of shots. Anyone want to straighten me out please???

Sorry, I posted on your wall about the different things. There's actually a couple responses :)
The nerve block is injection, nerve burns are procedures using guided imaging also but they do not get near the nerve root.
