I think the back is actually healing!

Yes, I can now make it through running and spin and the pain isn't that bad. I notice it most now when I am sleeping. The arm is getting better too. I didn't really have any issues in the aero bars on the bike tonight. I went in to the pain doctor for a follow up and they want me to get an epidural shot in my spine. I think that is a little drastic and am going to ask for another round of trigger point injections instead. Also, I found out that my co-pay for the epidural shot is $650.00. That is a little extreme as well.
