Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has said that quarterback Tony Romo could still be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Eagles. There were reports that Romo and a herniated disk, but Jones would only call them back spasms, adding, "There is nothing structurally that will rule him out if he feels good and is cleared to play. Nothing.” But according to ESPN's Ed Werder, sometime after the Cowboys returned to Dallas following last Sunday's win over the Redskins, Romo received an epidural injection to relieve pain and reduce inflammation related to the herniated disk in his lower back. "I would be very, very surprised if he got back on the field," one source said. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...t-tony-romo-had-epidural-to-relieve-back-pain
My wife had shots for both deliveries of our daughters. Said they were beyond painful. Wonder if Romo's poor decisions are due to being pregnant?
The epidurals are not a given to help. Some people may get up to 6 months relief some get no relief at all.
