This is disappointing if not unexpected news in the fight against back pain. Steroid injections are really no better than placebo - in other words you might as well do nothing than have someone stick a needle full of steroids in your back. And doing nothing let me tell you is a whole lot less risky and cheaper.
So what do you do if you have back pain? Use anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or naproxen, do back stretches religiously and above all give it TIME. In 4-6 weeks or sooner you'll be better. I promise you.
