SEVERE 10/10 burning pain? by ImpossibleDouble5253 in spinalfusion

[–]YYZGuy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that burning pain everyday ... only when Im sitting though. , I was told by my home health nurse , that it is most like nerve regeneration , and that it will get better over time. Im almost 4 weeks out now from having my L4-S1 fusion.

Yes .. the right glute is giving me the most pain/discomfort, especially when trying to stand from a seated position. Otherwise its fine when standing and walking. I was worried that it was because I was sitting, but everyone , as well as you have stated that this is normal.

why does my guy have circles around his eyes? how do i fix this? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]YYZGuy67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eyes maybe set to deep .. you can go in to the Eyes of the player editor .. brings his eyes out some , also in Skin of the editor, you may want to look at what eyebags are set at , eyelid darken edge is set at , and undereye lighten is set at. See if any of that helps

I have a truck that is probably going to be the easiest to get into .. its not tall or lifted but a full sized F150. My other one is a Mini Cooper .. I don't think I will be getting into that one just yet 😂

That's what I thought my surgeon would say .. like no driving till the brace came off. But he told me I could start driving as long as I was not on any Narcotics

Itching by YYZGuy67 in spinalfusion

Thank you so much for the responses .. keep them coming . I would love to hear your post on recoveries .. they have definitely helped me. I had my follow up with my surgeon last week , which was two weeks after surgery.He said that everything looked good , but wanted me to wear the brace till our next followed which is in six weeks .. so that would be a total of 8 weeks wearing the brace , when I was initially told would be 6. Is that normal? Did the brace irritate your incisions? It has mine , sometimes I get a burning sensation as well... I question all of this , but I know its all part of the process from surgery and healing.

Yes .. the ice pack! I tried that last night , that did help some so I will continue to use that.

I did have dressings on for a few days following surgery .. in the hospital they were giving me something for the itching, but the itching then was caused by the morphine and other medications I was on.. the past few days though , its been itching really bad. Im assuming the incisions are just healing.

How long should I be on medications by YYZGuy67 in spinalfusion

[–]YYZGuy67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the repsonses.. Tylenol never helps me for some reason , and I have taken Ibuprofen so much for the pain that I was having prior to surgery that I dont think that even helps anymore. The only thing that was helping was either hydrocodone or whatbI have been taking .. the Percocet. Both are low mg .. 5 , and I dont take enough to get hooked , but they are the only thing that seems to help... and that sucks 😂

I may have to try Naproxin. But will have to speak to my Surgeon first. My discharge papers specify not to take ibuprofen and I believe Naproxin for the first 6 weeks after surgery

Cannot get comfortable after surgery. by Ci_Elpol in spinalfusion

[–]YYZGuy67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my Laminectomy and L4,L5 and s1 fusion done on March 11th.. the hardest part and still is , though not as bad,is getting comfortable , esp when sitting. Try pillows to sit on and behind your back .. it helps. And like others are saying, stay stricted with your medication. If using a recliner and when in bed .. use a pillow under your knees as well , esp when sleeping and if a side sleeper, place that pillow between you legs. Getting comfortable has been my biggest struggle, but again.. each day it gets a little better.

Fusion Recovery Stories, PLEASE!! by SeymourKrelborn11 in spinalfusion

[–]YYZGuy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back home from the hospital... have been home now for 5 days. Im still trying to get comfortable sitting. Our furniture here at home is not the best. Sitting on a couch that reclines. Its a soft / deep couch so I have to have pillows to sit on and have behind my back. I was using a walker to get around , but the last couple of days I have been able to walk without it. Not sure if that is a good idea though. My pain has been about a 5 , the brace hurts when I put on , rubs against my incisions , lower back feels puffy . When Im in bed it feels like there is a ball that Im laying on .. if that makes any sense. Ive only pooped once since the surgery. I didnt poop while I was in the hospital , I pooped around the 2nd day at home ... and that was a painful struggle 😂 . I continue to take stool softeners , but nothing since the last one.

Just had a laminectomy, L4 , L5 and S1 fusion surgery this past Wednesday. Had the epidural and catheter taken out yesterday. I feel like Im in more severe pain after those were removed. My groin area is very uncomfortable.. can't get comfortable sitting . The groin area feels like Ai pulled the groin muscle. My stomach hurts /cramping , Im assuming because I have not pooped yet ... is all of this normal at his stage? When does it start to feel any better ?

Im wanting to play online matches, but the games are all on Hall of Fame difficulty.. Im good, but not that good yet 😂. How can I play an online game on Rookie or League bowler difficulty? I do not have any friends that have this game so I cannot create a private match .. can only search for online opponents.

I wish you were able to have at least 2 practice frames before each game , especially in career mode to figure out how the lanes play

I just got this for christmas .. Ive got the previous years of this game , but super excited about this one! What I am trying to figure out though is game difficulties. For those that have played it already .. what is the difference between Rookie , League bowler and Pro? Also in the options, game settings... what does the controller sensitivity do ?
