Post op pain/issues
Hello, I'm 4 weeks post op and still a mess. It took me 3 years to find a surgeon that would help me, I had a lot of issues, Scoliosis (16mm off center), 6 vertebra with virtually no disk space, cracks in my sacrum, left leg completely numb, and a few more things I hope you can get a picture from this. My surgeon was confident about fixing all of it. I'm home now and was in so much pain I just laid in bed, I was able to take steps with my walker and fulfill the hospital requirements to go home. At 3 weeks I felt some relief, my pain level @7, then this last week it steadily increased but it was a different pain, is it possible that the surgical pain has subsided and I'm now left with a pain they said I might have? The Dr. Said he could just fix so much and it's very possible I'll still have issues. I was a solid 8 to 9 pre op and now I'm feeling a solid 6 to 7. I'm sure I've left out critical info. I'm 54 in great health but I still struggle to walk. Any info would help, I don't know what to do any more. And this is my 1st post.
