The cortisone shots are usually given in sets of 3, and my first three took my pain away for 3 years. However, when I did the set again, it only helped minimally and I have been taking pain pills instead for years. However, exercise is what helps me the most. I take my pill and go to the gym, and lost 50 pounds, and for the most part, my pain is much reduced now, from where it was when I started. I have a badly degerated L3-L4 disk. I know bowl 3 nights a week. I think everyone is different and what might help one, may not help you.
