Hi Friends
I have a question. The only real pain that I have had since I woke up from surgery on Jan 29th (Dr. Lenke) and it is still the reason for my needing pain meds now is scapular pain. The pain is on both the right and left scapulae (?) closest to my spine. The left scapular pain is the WORST! It has never let up.
My six year old daughter asks multiple times a day how bad the pain is on her pain scale: No pain= cotton balls, then to crayons, spoons, forks, knives, and lastly, swords. I have to tell her everyday (even with Oxycontin and Lortab) that the pain is at knives and swords. It feels like this along the edge of my scapulae whether I'm standing, sitting, walking, lying on my back or lying on either side.
Is this common?? I'm beginning to worry that it will never go away.
Thank you in advance for any input.
