Hello All,
Hope everyone is doing well. I had a total fusion to sacrum on Mar 1st and I am doing very well. I still have some back pain. I've been able to lessen my pain pills and make them farther apart. I'm back working part-time 4 hours a day. I do very well at work as they are very easy on me. I have mostly a computer job so it's more of a matter getting my fingers back in shape than my back. And, I have to get used to sitting at the computer again. But, everyday is getting better and better little by little. This has been a long haul of an ordeal, but not as bad as I had prepared myself for so I guess that's okay.
The main thing I'm fighting, and concerned about, is every since the surgery the top of my left thigh has been numb, tingling, etc. I get pain that shoots down the top of my thigh, but it comes and goes as quick as it comes.
I was just curious if any one else experienced this type of phenomenon following surgery? It doesn't seem to get any worse or better. I haven't talked with Dr. Lenke about it as I have my followup on May 26th, so I will mention it to him then.
I value you all's opinions and wondered if anyone else experienced this same thing? It's just the one leg at least. Otherwise, everthing else is going very well. I have one spot in my back that is stil very, very sore at times and gives me fits to the major degree if I happen to walk too far or overdo things. Funny how our back can rule out life, isn't it?
Thanks much for your thoughts on this. I appreciate it, as always.
