I had an appt. with our family MD who decided to put me back on the higher pain meds I was on prior to surgery. When asked if the SCS is working, I respond that its doing its job. However I have had the spasms return to where I have to undo my bra at work bc I can't handle the pressure from it. And the newest thing is next to the incision site on the right side I feel sharp hypersensitive stabbing pain and around the rib under my arm I feel the same thing. So I'm hoping this is just healing from the laminectomy. I did tell the doctor that I was going to wait another couple of months before mentioning it to my Spine Specialist bc I do NOT want to go through surgery again. I've been doing reading on Post Laminectomy Syndrome, this fits to a T what I am feeling, so again, just going to play a waiting game and try to remain positive. I'm kinda bummed, but going with the assumption that my back will never really stop hurting and this is as far as I'm willing to go.
Thanks for listening.
