Should I Take Any Pain Killers For Facet Joint Pain?

I have severe spinal stenosis, as well as facet joint pain caused by scoliosis. I have had all the necessary MRI, CT and Bone Scan. I have had a cortisone injection in the tailbone area as well as one in the Facet Joint but still have pain. My question is whether I would be able to take pain killers of any nature as well. I do not want an operation unless it becomes absolutely necessary. Thank you for considering my question. Regards......Yvonne

Hi,

I have read your query.

You should get another injection name methylprednisolone if previous time of injection had cross one month. It will definitely cure your pain but it should be injected by trained a doctor.

I hope it helps.
