Gambi - sounds like you and I are in the same position. I had another injection Monday and am waiting for the call from the nuerologist/neurosurgeon. SI joint and iliopsoas muscle down outside of the leg rather than the sciatic nerve down the back of the leg. Such fun.

My weight was down a bit this morning. I was pleasantly surprised. I truly will be satisfied this month to just stay the same with all that's been going on. Though, of course, I'll be doing a modified happy dance if I lose my usual two pounds. Slow and steady wins the race.
I have the SI joint issue going on also. My PT says that my right leg is shorter than my left and that may very well have caused it. 54 years and it messes things up now!!! It's funny, I never felt anything was weird about my legs or my gait but since he told me that, every step I take I'm noticing that I'm walking unevenly. I think it's just the power of suggestion. The SI joint pain mostly bothers me when I try to get out of bed (or chair for the past week) and really isn't a problem the rest of the day. But those few minutes are torture. Falling apart stinks, doesn't it!
