It sounds like you have a good plan in place, and I'm happy to hear at least you have restriction this time trying to go back to work.  Hoping the injection will work for you on the 5th.  Thinking of you often.

I quit taking Neurontin to see if I really needed it (I did).  The Philadelphia collar helps to relieve pain too.  My NS had a Chiari patient whose major symptom was brain fog; w/the collar, she didn't need surgery.

I have Dr. Oro's book.  Good luck!
