Hi all-
I know you guys can help me with my question since you have been so great answering all the other ones! As most of you know, I just had my surgery June 8. I am on my 2nd week now. I think I now have the constipation/bowels under control. Now I am feeling a little down because my back feels very painful. I am fused from T3-L3 and my back feels very stingy and has like a burning sensation. It was sooo hard for me to get out of the medical bed this morning. My arms really hurt and it hurts for me to even reach out to grab something. Yesterday it was over 90 degrees here and I wore a winter bathrobe since I was so cold! My teeth were chattering. Overall my back hurts really bad in general and I was wondering what week I will start to get better? I think I am getting down because I have 2 little kids who are demanding my attention and it is sooo hard for me to move. I don't want to feel like this forever! Everyday I hope the back pain will feel better and better but it doesn't. I am currently on Valium for spasms, oxycontin, oxycodone, lyrica, colace and senna.
Anyone have any uplifting thoughts about when I will start to turn the corner?
Thanks,
JenM
