UPDATE: Low back pain

Many of you may know that since my pretty bad car accident in 2007 I have been having some painful low back issues going on. Here's a little update:

I can tell you that any increased stress triggers it to flare up.
I can tell you that I am on my 2nd series of Steroid epidurals.
I can tell you that I have to take a muscle relaxer at night to sleep.
I can tell you that I remain positive even though its seriously a pain in the back. (ha ha...OK bad joke)
I can tell you the slipped disc was out on the left side and NOW its off on the right. Actually causing more pain.
I can tell you that I LOVE SWIMMING now. Low impact, high intensity, and I feel great.
I can tell you that the heating pad is Still my best friend.
I can tell you that Roxie, my Lil angel, sleeps with me every night and it makes life so much better for me.

What I CANT tell you is when I will be back to my niche in life- massage therapy. I miss it and my clients dearly.
I cant tell you if this next shot will help. although I'm hoping it will.
I cant tell you if I will ever be able to run again. I have my fingers crossed.
I cant tell you whether or not I can ever be off of muscle relaxants at night.

At least its good to know that I have more CANS than Cants
