I have had back problems for about the past 10 years...I have had the shots in the past and they work for the most part (just mask the actual problem) but havent had one recently. I was always told by my doctors that the day I cant get out of bed because the pain is so bad, is the day I get the surgery, although I am still young so it may depend on what the age of the person is that's having the problem. Anyway good luck brother, hope everything works out for you
