Dr. Ramis Gheith answered

Back Pain: There are many causes of lower back pain - after a thorough evaluation by a qualified interventional pain specialist your pain will most likely be narrowed down to one of the structures or conditions noted here: disc , joint, soft tissues, spinal stenosis and the list can go on and on.... You will need a detailed evaluation first.
