I had the MRI, then the physiatrist gave me steroid injections on both sides of my lumbar at L5 this morning. I'm more sore today but she said it shouldn't give me any relief until 2-3 days have passed. The physical therapist advised me to keep doing the exercises at home since they strengthened my back, even though the pain kept returning. I got a CD copy of the lumbar MRI and I'll share that with my neuro in March when I see him.
He wasn't really happy that I had stopped my Aubagio treatment without telling him first but I think he'll get over that. If it turns out that the MS is causing this, I'll likely go back on Copaxone unless he has a better idea that I can agree with.
