Mariaa, I have also had good success from ESI's, not great, but I'll take them any day. Once or twice I actually felt like what it used to be like in the old days. For a short time I was taking bike rides with my children and doing some good swimming and walking. They gave me the confidence of what may be wrong and I pursued it very aggressively. I guess as a diagnostic tool they were beneficial that they knocked down the pain and help identify it. I don't know how you do it. Probably best to take what you can when you can. I don't know how we all do it. One day at a time.
