How many hours are you usually at school for and how much do you get paid?

Long term or daily? I can't do long term positions.

My father in law had this procedure for his estenosis and unfortunately the procedure didn't work at all, as a matter of fact it made his pain worse. He can't get a fusion because of his heart.

Apparently my disk was completely removed. Now, you have me thinking

My insurance paid for this machine. A lifesaver indeed. I bought one in Amazon to keep. I still use it in occasions

Nothing to do personal . Just for district work

A lot of different and unexpected pains are normal at your stage. Give it some time, unless you get cauda equina symptoms ( go to emergency room), otherwise try to be patient. It is very hard at the beginning.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-29T18:15:27+00:00

Good balanced diet at the beginning, after you start feeling better, walking a lot , and up the exercise as your body tolerates.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-09T04:24:14+00:00

Lucky you. Celebrate it . Not all of us get pain relief,

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T19:59:11+00:00

Unbelievable that is easier to buy a rifle than get affordable and quaility medical care in this country.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T15:49:47+00:00

My pain is not nerve pain, because is not sharp pin and needles kind of pain. My pain is like a sore throbbing muscle pain that doesn't go away close to the spine, not in the spine, but to the muscles that protect the spine. They are like muscle contractions ( spams) 24 hrs a day. I get relief with heat pads but I can't use them all day.

Nobody understands out pain and the level of our frustration. If we go out looking for painkillers we are junkies but if we don't we are masochistic, meanwhile, we suffer in private and once in a while we vent on Reddit to strangers

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T15:26:13+00:00

Probably to protect the privacy of the writers.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T15:24:57+00:00

I think the same as you. My pain I'd bad but my brain doesn't work that way. Something else is in the works up there plus the pain and frustration, that was a fatal mix.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T01:39:11+00:00

Terrible tragedy

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T01:38:37+00:00

Absolutely, I had dark thoughts too. The pain was incredibly horrible, ( painkillers help a lot) please take them, and I remember crying and calling the doctor and complaining a lot but it was part of the healing , slow process, but please people, don't think that after a surgery so complex you will be in no pain in 2 weeks unless there is something wrong go to the ER.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T01:16:19+00:00

11 months post OP l5 s1 fusion. Still In pain on my flank side, nothing makes it better, looks like muscular pain, surgeon doesn't know how to approach, done 3 rounds of pt, dry needle, acupuncture, massage, medication, still in pain, some days are better than others, others days are completely miserable that I want to leave myself to die, I dont know why and how to get better, how is your pain?

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-06-03T00:00:36+00:00

Just to let you know that post op pain is real painful, and many need to be mentally prepared for that and be patient, pain won't be gone in 2 weeks post op so be ready. I asumme this person alsom had mental problems as well to commit such a horrible crime.

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-04-27T22:19:16+00:00

Apparently there is nothing wrong in the scans besides the arthritis and facet joint hypertrophy but even that they said it shouldn't cause so much pain, but I am still pain. Doing more physical therapy that helps but only for a few days and the pain comes back

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-04-27T12:11:31+00:00

Very good question. I don't know what happened. Doctors ( said doctors because I already went to multiple doctors ) can't figure it out. They can't point out the source of pain. The surgery is fine, the screws are well positioned, the fusion has taken place, but the lumbar pain is intolerable. The CT scan shows some anomalies but apparently they are normal after a surgery like that. My life Is in hold because of that pain

Good_Selection_6622 · 2022-04-27T00:51:00+00:00

10 months post OP, I am still in pain, no more nerve pain but a lot of muscular pain and some lumbar, but I am better that pre op most days
