  • Cramping

    Has anyone else after being fused have really bad cramping in their belly like, period cramps? Every time my pain gets severe I feel this pain as well. Any suggestions?

    Hi, The only thing that really helped was walking and finally being able to have a normal BM (which took about 4 weeks for me, rough postop) I hope you feel some relief soon.

      Am I understanding correctly that you just recently had revision surgery? If so, have you had a BM? I had terrible cramping untilt the time when I did, which was 5 days post op.
