@jcold5619 welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So sorry to hear about your back pain. What is BCG treatment? (I don’t do well with acronyms.) Could you elaborate?

BCG stands for "Bacillus Calmette-Guerin" . It is an immunotherapy that has been the mainstay for treating Stage One bladder cancers AFTER all evidence of a cancer tumor has been removed.
