The investigators are assessing the validity of fitness devices as surrogate measures of
chronic pain survey outcomes.

The investigators are attempting to validate the usage of personal fitness trackers against
the classical survey tools used. These devices are known to be of use in measuring activity
and sleep in healthy patients but their use in chronic pain patients has not been assessed.
This study will follow participants with chronic back pain undergoing treatment to see if
changes in clinical course can be captured with these fitness devices.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Back pain which may benefit from epidural injection

- Assenting to epidural injection for back pain

Exclusion Criteria:
