I had a lot of back pain for years from scoliosis until I had a steroid injection--it was like a miracle and lasted 10 years. Then I went to a different doctor and he gave me a series of three steroid injections which aleviated the pain for quite a while too. But the most help for me was from a physical therapist who treated me after a knee replacement. He had me put a heel lift in one shoe to make my pelvis more level. Now I have a heel lift in every pair of shoes I wear.
