A member asked:
I am allergic to cortisone. are there any other steroids that can be used to treat back pain that are not cortisone based?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, many: There are multiple formulation of steroids that can be used. Cortisone isn't actually used on the back, generally triamcinolone is the preferred steroid injection but that depends on the person doing the procedure and the equipment used.
