A member asked:
Can cortisone injections cure chronic back pain that has went on for 10 months? i'm just 22. is it safe to try?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Make sure your pain is not related to spondylitis. See a rheumatologist. Cortisone injections have little potential value in a 21 year old.
