  • During Recover

    I am almost three months post op and in the past two weeks I am experiencing cramps & spasms in my lower back that sometime goes into my legs when I am lying down. When I first came home from the hospital I had them in my upper back, but they stopped My doctor has called in a muscles relaxer prescription to my pharmacy. Is this common during recovery?

    Your muscles have to stretch out on one side or the other to get used to your new straight spine. If your have an "S" curve, part of one side and a different part of the other side will be stretching out. A heating pad helps a great deal.
