Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.

2. It can used to reduce nerve inflammation and hence pain at the site of injection.
3. Yes, it can be used to reduce pain. You can take it. Along with it physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises to reduce compression will help.
Hope it helps.
