WOW! Your the first person I have talked to who seems to understand. Are there really 10 whole people out there? HA HA! Have you had the epidural steriods yet? I have had one and no relief at all. My job requires I lift 70lbs, and they offer no light duty unless you have an OJI.... I do not know what to do about that. Right now it's kind of a "don't ask, don't tell" situation. But work is so exhausting and painful. I just feel like Im in limbo. Thanks for the reply. Take care and let me know if you learn anything new!!
