A member asked:

Is it possible to get an anti-inflammatory injection in my low back for the pain and arthritis and cysts i have there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure...: There are several pain relieving injections for chronic back problems. You need to have an appropriate work up by your doctor including necessary imaging and then you may be referred to a pain management specialist
