But you have to sort out what's going to benefit you pain wise in the long run. Meds or surgery. Not an easy decision I know, especially where your back is concerned.
Right, but I've just spoken to my physiotherapist and showed him the x-ray shot. He seriously doubts that surgery can be avoided, and at this point, the pain is too bad to even consider physiotherapy, so he hasn't done anything today, it was just not possible. We agreed to give it another try in case the injection tomorrow will bring some relief. If not, I think I'd prefer to have surgery as soon as possible!
