You were just in bad arse shape! yep! Some people might have called it self induced re anticipatory angst or something like that! Guess you were just having a bad arse flare up! I hope that since you stated Weds and Thurs were the worst that Friday (today) was better.

I was always advised not to take Nsaids prior to the lumbar ESIs which wasn't a prob for me since I haven't been able to take them for years now.

In fact I was advised prior to having eye surgery not take Nsaids for 2 weeks prior and with dental surgery not to take them for same amount of time (was told this at very stages in dental implant process).

You could have blamed not taking your Mobic if you had stopped it but you didn't so you know that wasn't the cause!

yeah.. that dang that doctor/procedure or maybe just your own body for flaring itself up!
