I have had back problems since 1979 but I've been able to manage the pain without surgery or injections.

As for Cortisone - yes I have had injections and honestly wish the stuff came in six packs.

I've had one injection in my right heel and two in my left heel (within a month of each other) back in 2001. No problems since.

I had an injection in my left hip last year about this time to take care of a problematic sciatic nerve. Two days after the injection I was bowling again.

And I'm hoping that they give me one on Friday to deal with my right elbow. Call it tennis elbow if you want but I'm calling it bowlers elbow.

I'd take a Cortisone shot any day over surgery.
