Hi everybody,
Haven't posted for a while. Things were going well. Then...marching band started.
Bill who is 9 months post op started marching band last Monday. Yesterday I noticed he was sitting differently. When I asked him if his back hurt, he said yes (right below his neck and above his fusion) and that his left shoulder blade area was numb. I gave him tylenol and a muscle relaxant and that eliminated the pain. (Didn't hurt this morning either.) But, his shoulder blade area was still numb.
We have a call in to his doctor (who is in the process of moving to a different state!) but would like to know if anyone has had this experience. He plays mellophone when marching (which is like a giant trumpet) so it's not a question of weight necessarily, but may be related to posture used when marching. I don't know. Would appreciate any input.
Would also like to know how marching band is going for those who are also post-op and this is their first time since surgery.
Thanks.
Susan
