At my 5 month check up the doctor said it would be ok to start using, but I've still not tried it. He said that my fusion looked to be coming along nicely. But I'm nervous about using it so soon....I'm at 6 months now. HOw can it be safe to take at 6 months when you're not fused for a full 2 years? I don't want to do anything to compromise my fusion.
The reason I'm considering it is that my right shoulder is KILLING ME! I don't know what's wrong with it. Dr. N and my physical therapist said it sounds like 'impingement' or bursitis or something like that. He said if it continues I should go see a shoulder specialist. CRAP!!! I do not want another surgery!!
I will try to make an appt with someone soon, but in the mean time I"m afraid to take the ibuprophen. A friend suggested Flex Power cream, http://www.flexpower.com/uses_instruct.html
As a side note, last night I went to an aerobic dancing class that I LOVED! I plan on going 2x a week. I kept up with everything they did, and when they were doing ab work I improvised. My back felt perfectly fine this morning after the workout last night, but my shoulder was SORE.
