Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've given an update. Before Tuesday, I was doing pretty well and slowly adding more activity everyday. I still throw up a couple of times a week which I don't understand, but it could be worse. Yesterday morning (Tuesday) I talked to my mom and she said she didn't think I was pushing myself hard enough. This made me feel awful and worthless so I tried to do some things around the house and then went out to lunch with my dad. Basically, I was up and around for 4-5 hours. When my dad brought me home, I went to lay down on the couch and I had this horrible pain between my shoulder blade and my collar bone. I took some Percocet and the pain died down a little. I fell asleep on the couch at 11 pm and woke up at 2 in the worst pain I had ever experienced. The pain was in the same spot as I mentioned before and also in a spot along my spine (lower thoracic area) and rib cage. It would only hurt when I breathed in. I took 2 10/660 Vicodin and a Flexeril which finally kicked in after an hour. I cried and cried and thought about going to the ER but didn't.
Today, I woke up in some pain in the same areas, but it was tolerable. My husband and I went for a walk tonight and as soon as we got back, the pain started again. It's horrible and the Vicodin and Flexeril don't seem to be doing much this time. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. It seems like it's related to exertion. What should I do about it? I'm reluctant to call my surgeon because he thinks I'm ultra-sensitive physically and seems to throw my strange issues aside.
Thanks,
Shell
