Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Orthopedics, working with an experienced Spine surgeon. I answer on his behalf.
I suggest you to get a MRI scan of the lower back done first. taking injections into the spine without identifying the cause or the pain and the severity of the disease is XXXXXXX
The most probable cause is scoliosis or slip disc both of them are not treated with injections in the spine.
Do take care that inadvertent use of medication is avoided.
