Thank-you guys for the support. I got a call this morning from my pain management doctor's office doing follow-up on last Friday's SI Joint injections. I told them I haven't had any relief except the immediate 4 hours afterwards. I also told them I have spent most of my time on the sofa with the heating pad. So, they decided I needed to come back in this next week and will confer with the doctor about either trying an epidural injection or another bi-lateral set of SI joint injections again. I am just glad they care and want to help me with my pain.
