I have a disk problem I had steriod injections for it 5 yrs ago,I re-injured it at work im giong thru a work comp issue how ever they sent me to the same doctor that gave me the injections and he wants to give me another injection will it help or will the problem come back
Steroid shot will not cure disease of disc .It only will give long term pain relief. Pain may come after some period of time. I will advise you to take neurotropics like methylcobalamine for improving your disc pain. Many of my patients with multiple diseases find great relief by doing yoga, pranayama, and sudarshan kriya.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
