You do all of that AND have a herniated disk?? Wow!
I think someone on the ping list said they were a personal trainer. Maybe they can help you out.
Yes, I've had several of the epidurals and they've helped immensely. Unfortunately I irritated it again in the step class (thought that I was cute and tried a crunch on the floor) so I'm waiting to see my orthopeodic doc for another epidural.
