Runner,
I am so sad for your continuing pain. Pain is sapping and it is so hard on you. Also, that laundry would drive me batty too so I know the urge to do it is strong. DON'T DO IT! Leaning over...

Well, guys, the facet block didn't work.
My facets are apparently fine.
I saw the pain doc in his office, and he thinks L5/S1 is causing my symptoms.
