Why are epidural steroid injections for back pain limited to only a few a year? 3 days ago | By Richard H. Rho, M.D. (@richardrho)Comment receiving replies
I have had severe lower back pain off and on for ten years. I’ve tried every treatment available from PT to spinal injections and nothing has given me any long term relief. I was recently referred to a neurologist and am hopeful that this will be my last stop! I have been prescribed Neurontin 600 ml. daily which has greatly reduced the pain. Next month I’ll be having an ablation which I’m hoping will reduce or eliminate the pain for a longer period of time. I’ll let you know!

I have struggled with the same problem for 2 decades. shots did nothing for me but ablation helped I experienced relief for 6-9 months. Since 2012 I have had a morphine pump, I've had great results. It is so much better than pain meds, a continual dose is dispensed by a catheter in your spinal canal. Keeping trying to find what works, like you, I have had many kinds of treatment. Keep moving forward.
