If you can forgo getting more steroid shots I'd stay with meds. As you know the steroids do very bad things to your bones, kidney arteries, etc. Yes it works to a point but is the long term effects worth it? I opted to stay with my 1992 L5-S1 SS bar fusion vs. removing it all and putting in new titanium. I have chronic pain controlled with buprenorphine, oxocodone 5/325mg, baclofen and medical marijuana. Thankfully except for high BP I'm relatively healthy.

What did they give you ? And can the do that before you have a problem from injections. I am so afraid to have surgery. No I should say I don't want surgery.
