Rosa and Anon-
Thank you both for you comments. Rosa- I, too, am a nurse. This injury happened at work and after more than five months of conservative treatment I am unfortunately not much better. I still have the radiculopaty and back pain. I lean more toward the radiological dx especially as time and therapy have made no difference. It is really discouraging to still have pain and to be unable to work due to lifting restrictions. I am not a fan of back surgeries either but I would like to seek a form of treatment that might offer recovery rather than management with opiates or drugs heavy on side effects and sedation. D.,RN
