Crossing fingers and hoping that it may help make the pain tolerable. Have 5 days of FMLA left until next August so I really hope it does. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.  |
Oh good it is probably the lyrica that you need as it works on nerve pain etc The stronger medication masks the symptoms but you need to be able to move and function especially when you are the sole earner etc. Don't lose heart. We are never the same after major surgery but we have to focus on the positives and find a way to keep moving forward. Importantly remember tat pain etc is a very personal thing - but you are not alone as there are others battling on too! Take care
