Received steroid shot for blocked eustachian tube yesterday. this morning chronic back pain is gone! why?

Anti-inflammatory action of steroids: The steroid you received is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Chronic pain is often due to inflammation of muscle or nerve tissue. The medication decreased that, there by diminishing your pain. You need to see someone to evaluate your chronic pain.
