 hi Stars
 Needing to stand at your desk sounds like classic DDD.  One of your pain generators is the disc? right?  This was my situation at L5S1 before ADR and currently it is my situation with L45.  Leg pain has been a lesser issue for me.  For this reason I never found injections to be helpful.  I found that some of the more effective core exercises aggravated my central back pain at the DDD level.  I think the PT does help one manage pain a bit.  I'm curious to see how your outcome from PT.  Good luck.
