What Is The Cause Pf Nerve And Spine Pain When On Steroid Shots?
I am in pain--spine pain and nerve pain. I am taking Lyrica and Tramadol for the pain management in addition to steroid shots, especially to the Sacro joint. I need to see a doctor because these measures are not working for me. Who should I see--an orthopedist (I saw 2 who said I need surgery) or a neurologist or neurosurgeon (if surgery is the only help)

Hi,
It seems that you should consult Spine specialist as he is the proper person to know the origin of pain due to pinched nerve and which structure cause this pain.
He knows condition of spinal canal, spinal cord and affected vertebrae.
Ok and take care.
