Hi ~ I have to agree with Dr. Smith. You certainly need Pain Management, and possibly physical therapy when the healing time allows.

Since it's only been 3 months, you are NOT sufficiently healed yet -- the trauma that your body suffered is tremendous, particularly inside! The tissues are undoubtedly still inflamed and very angry! LOL And the nerves are still healing -- nerves heal/grow back at the rate of one INCH per month so it takes a good while for them to recover.

I doubt you're getting much in the area of pain medication as they never seem to think you're in much pain. I wish they could spend a day in our shoes -- just once -- and see how we feel! Then perhaps we MIGHT get proper medication.

Please get a referral to pain management. And take your hubby along if you can. He seems to be very uneducated in pain -- better yet, get a hammer and whack him in the shins. Then maybe he'd know how your BACK feels! LOL Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
