I had my surgery on March 16th this year. I have been very fortunate with the success of my surgery, thus far.
However, for the past several days, I have had problems sleeping (which was NEVER a problem pre-surgery).
I got off of my Fentanyl Patch last Wednesday. Currently, I am taking a muscle relaxer before bed, 10 MG Hydrocodone 3 times per day, and 10 MG Cyclobenzaprine 3 times for day. I am working PT from home this week and return to work PT next week. I am really frustrated with this set-back as I will not be able to return to work if I am not able to get some rest.
There are many people in this forum that are extremely knowledgeable with medicine and I am looking for your input. Also wanting to know if anyone else has this problem?
I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow so I am hoping for some great advice there as well. When I called the office and spoke with the nurse today, she asked if I'd consider taking a sleeping pill. I am concerned that a sleeping pill will make me groggy the next day. And, I've heard those can be very addicting. Help??!!
