Just want to see if any of the new post-op people are feeling this....After walking around the mall today for about 2 hours and doing alot of other activity with my kids/mom this morning, I had like a burning of metal feeling in my back that wouldn't go away until I took a nap. I am 7 1/2 weeks post-op. I have 13 vertebrae fused with 2 rods so all the time I am aware of the metal. Does this sensation ever go away as the months go by? I came home from the mall and took a 2 hour nap I was sooo wiped out. Just had to pop a pain pill in order to take care of my 2 young kids tonight since my husband usually works until 9pm at night. I would feel better and less depressed if I know that this feeling will eventually go away. I am hoping there comes a time I am less aware of all the hardware and metal. I feel like a robot and still my gait is all screwed up.
Thanks for any input. Just want it to get better faster, but I know I have to be patient. I can't wait to write positive posts up on this forum!!
