Today was day 3. No luck. I would have expected this to be the day. It still may be possible that reduced pain from the steriod is replaced by increased pain from the injection trauma. Maybe tomorrow will be better?

This blows my theory about the systemic value of the steroid being the key. The joint injections seemed to be determinative. The ESI seems to have no meaningful improvement associated with it. Back to the joints?

Next step may be bone scan?
