<s>[INST] I have been prescribed Lyrica for scolious of the spine.  I take cortisone shots every 2 months.  They help bit sometimes the pain is unbearable.  I have read all the side effects and am fearful.   I have had an anrythusm removed from my right renal gland. [/INST] Hi,In my opinion the right renal gland op isn't a reason to cause your back pain sometimes the scoliosis pain takes a long time up to 6 month of treatment of cortisone shots is suggested for operative solutions for my patient I recommend you ask your neurologist for endoscopic or minor surgical intervention to decrease your spinal nerve herniation which is the main cause of your neuropathic pain. MRI and CT spines are your best diagnostic investigation for proper management.  Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask. Regards,Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan </s>
