Hello Practo User, Any kind of injection or medications are only going to relieve your pain temporarily. What will you do if the pain comes back again? Proper clinical examination, diagnosis and treatment of the problem is essential.
Next Steps
Consult Orthopaedic doctor.

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