Hi everyone,
I know Iknow I went AWOL for a while. I am so sorry. I do your posts here and there though. Ok here is my update: I am almost 8 months post op!!! can you believe that?? that was fast (thnx God). For the last 3 months I haven't felt anything, I've been so great! I had my 6 month post op appointment and DR. Pashman said that my fusion looked great but he does not want me to do any excersise other than walking or light hiking.
Last week I started an internship working full time. So life was great... until yesterday.
I woke up having a weird sensation in my right shoulder blade, I mean between my shoulder blade and spine... like an itch but inside, something that I can't really scratch. It drove me crazy all day, because I wanted to scratch that area so bad and when I did I felt nothing because it's numb.
Today is way worse, I feel that itchiness inside and the muscles are pulling everytime I move my head to the point that I am so stiff. It hurts now... I can't really look down cause it hurts my neck. It's such ashame I was doing so great...
I am taking Soma(muscle relaxant) that I have left from my surgery, but it's not doing much. I really wish I would have a percocet...
Do you guys have any idea what can this be? I don't remember doing anything to hurt my back. My new job is kind of an office job, so nothing estrenuous there. The worse is the itchiness... that's driving me nuts!!!
Any input?
best,
Pilar
