  • pain meds

    I'm happy to report that I am completly off the narcotic pain medication!! :] I am 2 months post op as of yesterday.
    I take Tylenol every once in awhile to help take the edge off when I go to bed because I find it very hard to relax.

    I've also attatched my latest xray. Note my top curve used to be 50 something degrees and my bottom curve almost 70 degrees

      That's great, Crystal. What a wonderful job your surgeon did. To make such a big change to your spine and be off pain meds so quickly, is remarkable.
