Erin,

Stick with your neuro. He is the one who has seen you through so far and you like and trust him. Follow his recommendation and stay away from the 'quick fix' promise of pain relief through spinal shots.

I would strongly recommend the PT / massage route ASAP. It's not chemical, non-invasive - and worth a try before allowing anyone near your spine with a needle!

Good luck - and keep us posted.
Sue
