   What is meant by pressure point injections?  I have gotten steroid   
   injections, guided to the spot by xray.  That doctor told me that at my   
   age, there was not really any limit to how many I could have -- but that   
   for younger people (55 or so?) they would limit the number and/or   
   frequency of injections.   
      
   I can say that they gave me very good temporary relief -- two to three   
   months, but eventually the back pain in lower back returned, albeit   
   never so bad that it was not manageable.
