Maybe: Arthritis can be due to wear and tear (osteoarthritis) or autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis. If you have ben ruled out for any autoimmune causes then you should look to a skilled physical therapist to help you reduce the wear and tear on your back but allow you to continue to be active, healthy and exercise. Make sure you are using proper lifting techniques.

I do not think so: You might need a steroid injection.
