hey everyone,
I am just wondering for those who have had surgery if anyone has experienced really bad muscle spasms all around their back and throughout their ribcage @ night in bed to point of not being able to move or breath. I didn't experience this until about a week ago and I am about 3 weeks post-op now. It seems to be getting worse everynight and I an getting frustrated as well as scared at the fact that I can't breath. It takes at least an hour for my meds to kick in and then I can fall back to sleep. Sometimes when I wake up they are still there, just not as bad, and other times they are the same, not much improvement. My second week home I wasn't experience this at all. At that point my husband was helping my roll over if I had to.....no muscle spasms though, aside of that very tight feeling we all have after surgery.
My thought in regards to this is my rib cage is adjusting to it's new position....or trying to but geeezzzz how long will this last???? Anyone one with any input would be so appreciated. I am waiting to hear back from my doc. It will be interesting to see what he says.
hope all this rambling makes sense. It was a long night! Sorry if I babbled :O) I am trying to be positive....lack of sleep makes it hard, but I am hanging in there.
