|
|
| I had disc surgery on 4/9/08.I have also have suddenly been getting worse.I go to physical therapy 3x a week.I'm scared to take meds I took plenty before the surgery.I have pain all on the left side of my neck,up into my head,going down my back.I had C5/6-6/7-plastic,bone,titanium.My surgeon says your muscles took on bad habits.I'm so upset I thought finally I would have the surgery and maybe be 80% better.I went through years of pain.I'm out of work on disability.I'm 53 years old.What is the answer.I do take klonopin at night and imitrex if my head is pounding.I use heat and ice and exercise.This is so deppressing. |

hi Carl,im debbie,44 female who was very active in life until this work injury,if you have been prescribed meds you should take them not only does it help with pain but gives your brain a rest from thinking pain all the time,i forgot to take mine 1 day and i will never do that again,i know its depressing and very painful,but we are not alone ,i still have lots pain its been 3months since my operation,im better than what i was but hopefully pain will one day be gone,talk again soon,take it easy, don't rush it.  |

|

I had a discectomy on 7/31/08. My arm pain is gone but my index finger still burns all the time and I have pain in the middle of my neck, feels like the neck bone. My doc say its my muscles and is sending me to therapy. I am a bit discouraged cause i know my body and I know what hurts. I feel for anyone that has gone through this operation and still have problems. When I had mine, I was under the impression that my pain would be gone and I would go on with life. It seems that I have traded arm pain for neck pain. I am really hoping therapy does not cause me a lot of pain. my doc also took my pain meds away cause he felt they are not needed. Pain, frustration, worry and uncertainly. I am not back to work yet, my work is all lifting and climbing, doc says its not a good job for my neck. If anyone has any calming thoughts, I would willing to listen.
Iwish |
