Anyway, this is going to sound weird but I am noticing really weird sensations/feelings in my back. When I lean back it feels like I am laying against something solid, and this is where my laminectomy incision is. I also am still having spasms and pressure but this feeling is really weird. I am also having really bad trouble sleeping at night because my legs hurt so bad (I think its because of no stimulation) and my incisions sometimes burn. I am about to enter week 6 so hopefully this stuff is normal. I was hurting really bad because a couple days ago I kept throwing up (due to flu) and I know that was not good on my back I really hope I did not mess things up or do anything wrong because I do not ever want to have this surgery again! I have also been having a hard time because the burning pain and numbness is back in my legs and so I have to be really careful in order not to fall, usually I just turn my stim higher and it helps me with that pain and overrides it but since its off it is really bad and pain meds don't even touch that type of pain for me I have to make this short because I need to lay down again and also Gigi is up from her nap Have a great weekend and I will check back in when I can! I wish everyone a new year full of health, happiness, and less/ no pain! Take care Tara
