Is something really wrong

[Confusedmom]

Melissa,

I do remember reading in the Wolpert and Neuwirth books that post-surgical pain tends to ebb and flow, and that it isn't a straight line down. I'm hoping yours is a flare-up, maybe from becoming more active, and that it will recede in time.

Also, if it is nerve pain, some doctors have told me that sometimes surgery causes nerve pain but that it often resolves over time. So, do not despair! I think there is every reason to hope that your surgery was actually a very good thing you did for yourself--and not a mistake. Your doctor should be able to shed some light.

I am still in pain and it is still the same. All I did today was sleep and stay in bed. As I said, I found some pain pills from when I came home from rehab and I am slowly using them up until Wednesday. They do help but I do not want to be back on the now 8 weeks out

Thanks for all your good wishes

hope you feel better...and can get in to see the doctor really soon...

Sorry to take so long but my computer is old and slow like me
Well, he took Xrays and he said that it still looks good . He thinks that it is a disc in my neck that is giving me problems. So He is trying me on 6 days of MethylPrednisolone . He is going away for the last two weeks in July.
If this doesn't help, then when he gets back,then He'll send me for a MRI of my neck for further study. The reason that he thinks it is my neck is that when he touched me with his little feather , where I could not feel it fits in with the neck disc .

He also gave me a script for Darvocot

Yes it is a steroid .he felt that since he did see signs of fusion he felt comfortable giving me steroids now.

I hope that I can get a good night sleep tonight for more than 4 hours
