A physician answers patient questions about conservative care and cortisone shots for degenerative disc disease.
Question: Are Surgery and Cortisone Shots My Only Options?
I am 30 years old and I started suffering lower back pains about a year ago. Around six months ago, my doctor sent me for x-rays and told me I had degenerative spinal disorder. He put me on pain killers (when needed) and 800mg of ibuprofen three times daily.
