Will keep you all posted. Thanks for the advice and concern. I really do appreciate it.

Hey CL, I would see if you can talk directly with your doctor. The ancillary staff often answer questions that are best answered by your treating physician. Good luck with SI fusion surgeon/steroid injection.
Keep us posted!
