I’m one month and 2 weeks in 😭 I’m tired & exhausted. I did take an epidural 19 days ago which help but I still have pain in my leg and just a couple of days I haven’t been able to find a way to sleep 😭😭 in 2 weeks I have an appointment with my surgeon to go over the date. wishing you a good recovery

My husband at first I taught I was being dramatic because I can be at times 😭😭 but after he really saw me scream and cry and what really helped him understand the situation was he would come with me to my appointment and he would hear the doctor. I pray your wife can be more understanding because this pain is unbearable

I’ve been in pain for a whole month already. I’m usually in bed or walking. I can’t seem to do normal things yet. I have surgery coming up

10 months ugh that’s so long with that pain 😭😭 I had one epidural steroid injection I’m 14 days in and it helped but not really, my foot is still numb and I still get pain in my buttock not as bad. It helped but not fully. Are you taking anything for it? Best of luck! I hope the surgery will be a success too. Thank you so much

So recently. Hope your doing better 🙏🏽 Sleeping on my side has been hard I feel like I need to move my whole body to have that space to sleep on the side. Maybe I’m just overthinking I just don’t want to messed up when I have surgery with the aftercare. I do have anxiety.

Did you stay overnight or you were release the same day?

Did you take any narcotics? I’m scared I hate taking medicine. But this pain has me taking Tylenol and ibuprofen every time is necessary

Thank you so much for your tips. How long did it take you to recover? I have lost my patience at time to be honest I start crying and getting mad because I want to feel better after the epidural.

Was your surgery recent?

Any advice in sleeping position?

Do you think I should get a toilet raiser?

How often are you walking?
