Lower Back Test

I played basketball last Tuesday to test out the steroid shot that was put into my L5/S1 the week before.  This was against doctors orders but it felt good enough to go out and try it.  I am happy to say that it felt better than in the previous 8 months.  I was very spry in my play.  Both my lateral quickness and jumping ability returned.  I continue to do agressive core strenghening which will help on the climb.  I have lost about 3-4 pounds which will help when we carry up a 30 lb pack.
