moonhill Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Thanks for the replies to my OP. My husband saw Dr Gonzales Ross yesterday (yes, he's the young one) and had a steroid injection. We now have a long term treatment plan with the doctor. When I made the appointment, I simply asked for the spine surgeon, no problem. Appreciate all the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil in mexico Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 I have suffered a nagging back pain for years, started taking a mild opiate with some success then a couple of weeks ago we purchased a foam mattress topper from Costco. I was thinking our mattress was too hard, bingo 🤗 I have almost no back pain and no drugs, your milage may very but this guy is a happy camper! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgo lady Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 On 12/13/2021 at 5:11 PM, moonhill said: for spinal cortisone injections? Has anyone also had spinal, knee, shoulder or other PRP injections (platelet rich plasma taken / made from your own blood) done locally or in Guad? Lot of success reported, with typical relief averaging 6 months. Please post any experiences or contacts about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Had a botched hip replacement surgery here about 6 years ago and made it to the VA Hospital in Phoenix for an amazing redo. I still get along well but there is some pain and wondering if Cortisone injections might be an option...Sn., Jr., or other options? Prices?
