Sorry to hear about your back. Glad to hear you;re felling so much better.

I just today was at a seminar for Ergonomics, and they addressed back problems. They gave me some amazing tips and hints for sitting and other daily things to help keep pressure off your back. Here's an interesting link:

It shows how to keep the spine's natural curve.. and some of the info is actually surprising! Perhaps if you follow some of the recommendations, you'll start to feel better more often. I hope it helps.

PS: if it makes no sense to you, PM me and I can put it into layman's terms! The seminar was very interresting and enlightening.

Sorry I just saw this. I've lost count with how many epidurals I've had over the years. I've had most done under a floroscope. Unfortunately, after 30 years of worsening pain, I finally had a cervical fusion of disc 4/5 on Jan 10 as I ran the extreme risk of becoming a parapalegic. Looks like from all accounts, my spine surgery is next but I'm holding out for as long as possible. Too hot for a back cast in the summer. The neck surgery (I'm still in a brace) eliminated my pain by 95% almost immediately. Nobody likes surgery but it was the best thing I could have done. At least my upper half feels like a new body. Pain free after all those years. Too bad all those epidurals never worked for me, but I got to know the doctors so well I was on a first name bases. "She's Baaaack!" Good luck to you, I'm so thrilled you're feeling better and hope you're pain free for a long time!
