I've had years of lower back pain and SI injections. It's been 5 years now though since I've had an injection. My relief does come from stretching and yoga and diet. I can tell you though that all of it has to be done religiously, every day. If I get lax about it, I start having problems again and it takes several days to a week or more of everyday routine to get pain free again. The food side of it has to do with inflammation. Many people have undiagnosed food allergies that cause inflammation. They simply chalk it up to old age or old injury.
