from an e-mail to a friend:
i feel sure you're aware that most (if not all) of these injections are just band-aids. but i'll take any diminishment of the pain, no matter the source! right now my physical therapy people have me on a detox, gluten-free diet which is supposed to reduce inflammation and pain. i'm on my second day and haven't really seen much improvement so far. but i'll give it another couple of days before i give up.
i've yet to schedule with the disc replacement guy (laspineinstitute.com) because it means i have to take a day off to drive up there and back. and i'm pretty sure that he'll take one look at my MRI and recommend that i get the procedure. i guess i'm still too scared of back surgery. my pain is bad, but it's not yet bad enough for me to go there....
