I had a transforaminal injection (epidural) maybe 4 weeks ago, and went on vacation for two weeks. I had zero pain.

I returned and sat at my computer and the pain was back within hours, and after almost a week home, it's almost at the level of before the epidural. The only thing different is sitting at a desk to do computer stuff.

So, I realize I have to spill for a laptop. It wasn't on my budget, but I do need it. I'm probably going to obsess on this a long time before making the purchase, because in my dreams, I go for a Mac and dish the PC and never again get sucked into hours just getting the darn thing to work.

Thanks for bringing this up, Tony.
