I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in spine 2 years ago. Pain management consultant still trying to sort out meds. I'm on 3 lots. Suggesting injections next. Has anyone on here had them?

Hi @Seren

Welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum.

I see that you have OA in the spine and are on meds to help manage the pain. Your consultant is proposing trying injections and you would like to hear from anyone who has been down a similar path.

Well you definitely come to the right place for some input. Our website has some relevant information here:

Also, here’s a link to an recent discussion in the forum which you may wish to join:

If you type ‘injections’ into the search bar in the forum you’ll see a number of recent discussions on the topic which should provide you with useful information.

If you do proceed with injections I hope that they work well for you.

Best Wishes
