I have low back pain radiating to lower limbs. Coccyx area got injured due to fall and accident before 10 yrs back. When I consult Dr. They advice me to go for accupuncture or steroid injection, can you please tell me which one is better and why? and what are the side effect of steroid injection. Can I go for steroid injection as the pain in sometimes unbearable. Thanks.
