Need more information to answer this question.
First find a good pain management specialist. There's a procedure, "epidural steroid injection" that is very helpful.
Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a common treatment option for many forms of low back pain and leg pain. They have been used for low back problems since 1952 and are still an integral part of the non-surgical management of sciatica and low back pain. The goal of the injection is pain relief; at times the injection alone is sufficient to provide relief, but commonly an epidural steroid injection is used in combination with a comprehensive rehabilitation program to provide additional benefit.
You can get injections to alleviate the pain. Two types are Facet injection and Epidural steroid injection. It is not necessary but surgery is an option too. Most common surgery is a decompression with a fusion.

My son has Juvenile Idopathic Arthritis and had an aristospan injection approx. 1 year ago in his wrist as part of his treatment. He has no allergies and has significant fat loss at this injection site AND is recently experiencing fat loss up his forearm.
No NSAIDS. These are non steroid anti inflammatories. Advil (ibuprofen) , Aleve (Naproxen), no vitamins that have vitamin A or E, no Omega 3 or fish oils. Anything that is a blood thinner do not take. If you're not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Tylenol (Acetominophen) is ok however.
Yes it is and is used for Arthritis
