Great post
i have constant thoracic pain from C5-7 bulging disc, not debilitating but requires work to maintain for 10yrs+.
Have long considered ESI, at age 53 and still very sportingly active it might help, but I imagine having soon after injury would have provided more benefits.
I think healthy lifestyle, stretching and quality massage are key for me, something that will be a lot easier once retired and not travelling for work in few yrs time
