Thanks everybody. Took a day off from digging -- the back is sore from two days in a row. Mowed the grass instead. Pulled a few weeds. Mapped one of the Nursery Beds. Oh -- I did run a hose for awhile in that section of the fenceline bed -- hope it'll make digging easier tomorrow.
I've been giving serious thought to getting steroid injections in my back. It's what one of the doctors recommended last fall -- but I wanted to avoid anything invasive if I could. I've tried every alternative that is available to me -- they all help, but don't solve the problem. And I think I've given everything a good long effort. I'm really tired of dealing with limitations and discomfort -- I'd really like to have my life back. I've talked to two good friends who have had these, and they tell me that it has helped them a lot. Anybody here have any information, either pro or con?
