Hi Everyone,
I have yet another post-op question . I actually brought this question up in another thread recently..
I am 5 weeks post-op today and for the past few weeks I've had a pain that feels like a "bruise" along my lumbar spine, below the fusion/incision. It doesn't bother me at all when walking, sitting or even laying, but really only when I get up from laying on my back. It's almost as if when putting pressure on it directly it becomes very sore. As soon as I'm up and moving it lessens and I really only feel the pain when I press on the area.
Anyway I guess I find it strange that the soreness is along my spine mostly. This seems odd to me. I mentioned it to the nurse last week and she said this is normal, but being that it is below the fused area I just find it strange. Anyone out there with similar soreness?
Otherwise I am doing really well! I am sitting and standing for longer periods of time every day and can walk 3 miles without being winded at all!
Thanks everyone,
Jamie
