scottobearLooks like that an epidural is the next step, after I get some blood work done.
Instead of surgery, they want to work with "managing" the problem, first...a shot of cortisone into the back whenever it causes problems. I need to research the side effects.
Meantime, the usual "back care" stuff... no heavy lifting, no improper bending or twisting.
A little tension after the diagnostics today... but otherwise, my back's doing fine these days. Still hitting the doc as more of a preemptive strike for the next one, now.
Time for me to bag my loot before tomorrow's gassing. :)
