Post-Op SCS Trial
Good Morning to all! Today is Sunday 11/11/2012, my 3rd day with the SCS trial.
Friday after my procedure i came home in so much pain i couldn't move AT ALL! I was down emotionally and mad b\c i was thinking that it didn't help. By the night time i was ready to rip it out my back and say screw it. Luckily i was able to sleep well the Friday night. Slept on one side for about 30-45 mins sat up on the side of bed and position myself to the other side and fell asleep for about 30-45 mins. that was about my routine. I kept my SCS on all night but still i was in pain.
Saturday I woke up and I actually was in a very good mood. The surgical pain had subsided ALOT. I could move. Dont get me wrong the surgical pain was there just not as bad. I did everything in my own time and speed. Very big difference from Friday to Saturday.
Sunday i would have to say is the same as Saturday. Only thing is that I didn't sleep well last night. Today is my getting out the house day. Will be going to a birthday party and try going get a few things at wal-mart so i will really get to try this thing out.
Right now i cant say if it is helping i just know im in pain a different type of pain but the medtronic guy said it will get better as the days go by and i believe him b\c i feel it.
I haven't had to many issues but a horrible headache since yesterday morning and a small temp if you call it a temp 99.4/99.6 F.
Just a small blog about my adventure. If you have any questions pls reply or private message me. im an open book about this process. Again thanks for the well wishes, prayers, and support. Please don't stop i really really really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ashley
