Hooray - that sounds promising, Luna! ("nothing real serious")

I bet the PT does the trick. Celebrex was pretty helpful for me too!


IF you do face those ESIs (epidural steriod injections)...don't fret TOO much about the pain w/the procedure. Although they never helped me much, they are different for different people. I just wanted to say that ONLY try it if the doctor is offering sedation with the procedure. I've done it once without (my first time) and I'll just say.. Uhhh.... I never did it without sedation again. Lemme just say that Versed is a WONDERFUL cocktail. LOL

Over my 9yr experience with back trouble, I've had 3 sets in my L4-5 and 2 in my SI joints (hip joints). PT always trumped these shots for me. Still...if you go down that road..there is a chance it can help. I will send some healing good thoughts for you that anti-inflammitories and concentrated PT is all you need!

Keep the faith, Luna!
