Well I am now out of school for about 7 months and happy to say that with the last 2 ESI injections and no sitting in hard desks my thoracic is feeling much better, so much better I might cancel the Tspine surgury I was to have later this year. But bad news is an injury to neck/lumbar in april 2011 is causing me signifigant pain, worse than I dealt with in thoracic and much different and more scary. I could always exercise with thoracic it was just severe pain I dealt with. My lumbar is having weakness, legs shaking, buzzing, pretty terrible. So some good news , but as usual i never get a break. Now i am in worse pain than ever. Life is really sucking. But I am a firm believer in ESI injections so take it for what it is worth.
