Steroidal injection for low back pain


I recently had an injection of steroid for my back pain. This was 3 weeks ago. When will I see the benefits?

Most likely-Never. Steroids injections are nothing more than a scam. These injections rarely benefit anyone. The only ones to benefit from steroid injections are the doctors who perform them. In general, the effects of steroidal injections take time- 2-3 weeks and last several months. If you have seen no benefit in 3 weeks, it is unlikely to work at all.  You have to know one fact- many doctors are like car mechanics- they love scamming patients with bogus tests and treatments. Steroid injections do not work for all types of back pain and in fact the majority of people see no benefit. These injections are also expensive. Next time anyone suggests steroid injections- tell him/her to P..S off.
