Steriod shots, well after all the trouble there has been, I am not sure about them at this point. They in any case are a temporary fix, and if there is a real issue with the back, they do not last long. I had Ketamine infusions which did OK for about 4 months each. I had surgery after that. Massage is also a good part of PT. If you can get massage, it is alot less expensive than PT. I wish you all the best. ginnie

Thanks, Ginnie. I would certainly appreciate your son's opinion on which exercises to do. I'm not too confident in the steroid injections, but I want to make sure I try conservative methods before resorting to surgery.
