Armymedic,
That's right. They will get your history first and then probably schedule the injection(s). I think you are far from being a surgical candidate just yet.
And I hope the injections help; they always do for me. Oops, and yes, spinal stenosis and facet issues at L4/L5 and S1 for me.
And HOOAH right back LOL! You guys (military) scared the heck out of me one time when I was TDY at Ft. Campbell. I wasn't expecting it and about fell out of my car LOL!
