Jen, I have been suffering from these symptoms for years. I have bulging, ruptured disks and arthritis in lower back. Stemming from years of back breaking work, multiple car accidents and a wreckless childhood. I have tried everything and nothing helps. Got the shot about 3 weeks ago and it lasted 1.5 weeks. Best 1.5 weeks in past 10 years. Just got it again 3 days ago and it did not help at all. My next and last step before laser surgery is Radio Frequency Ablation. This is where they use Radio Frequency to burn the nerves that are causing the pain. My doctor says this will probably work well for me and is relatively safe. The pain relief should last until the nerve grows back. The older you get the slower nerves grow, so I am hoping for lasting relief. If this don't work Tampa has the laser institute and they are supposed to be able to fix me up in about an hour. I feel for all of those that suffer from these types of discomfort and many of us do. I know you have chosen your current course of action for now and I hope it works well for you. I will let you know how RF goes for me, just in case your course is short lived, you will have some incite to some other types of procedures.

You may need surgery for those disks. Have a good doctor check you out. Don't fool around. Go to Rush in Chicago. The Midwest Orthopedics Clinic. They will give you the strait poop. Don't settle for any other place when you are talking about your spine. Dr. Goldberg is the best. He fixed me up.

Jen, I had planned on trying to visit while I was around. Just didn't want to say anything until I was certain it was in the cards. I wanted to perhaps go to Yorkville and do lunch with you and Mike and then Plano to see Ponch and Niki Diaz for dinner. At this stage nothing is in stone except the Dells with son and grand daughter from this Thursday - Sunday and I think the following Friday, Sat, and Sun are reserved. Next Monday - Thursday nothing in stone, however the trip is focused on visiting as many friends and family possible. I will contact you sometime next week and see if we can work something out.
