What Causes Severe Lower Back Pain While On Prolotherapy Shots?
Helo, I ve just had my third attempt at Prolotherapy injections. The first two, several months ago, seemed to work about 3 weeks each. Today I m having severe lower back pain and I had a terrible time trying to sleep last night. I want to avoid surgery, any suggestions?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You did not mention the condition for which you used prolotherapy. Also one needs to know whether it was a first line treatment or did you go through allopathic medicine and are using prolotherapy as a last resort. Please answer these questions to be in a better position to help you.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
