Well I did the shots and got 2 weeks relief, yet I still woke up several times at night with a little pain. The shots were terrible to get. my pulse was 50% higher than normal, and... well, lets just say I wasn' t going thru that again!
Well, I would say ' I told ya so' but I ain' t the kinda guy that would do that.

Just remember that the pain pills and muscle relaxers are masking the problem, not fixing it. It' s the hardest thing in the world to do, but you have to accept that, no matter how good you feel, there are things that you shouldn' t do. (Fortunately, bow shooting isn' t on that no-no list.

)
I know what you mean about the sleep stuff. If I lay in bed more than 5-6 hours at a stretch, I' m ruined the next day. I think I did get a solid 8 hours of sleep one night last October...
