On the other hand I want this to work.
My doctor isn't happy about giving medicine out or anything. Why else would I be awake.. Little frustrated, unsure and just want to be normal again.

Please don't rush things. Be extra careful about lifting! I am 14 weeks post op and have not returned to work. My recovery has been extremely painful. Did you use cadaver bone or artifical disc? My dr used a device called ROI-C. I don't know if that is why I'm having a hard time or not. This is my second surgery, had cadaver bone last time, returned to work after 3 weeks and had no problems. I was lucky. You probably are not fused yet so make sure you follow all your drs instructions. I would at least call him at tell him about your new pain. Please keep me posted. I just started using this site yesterday and it has been very comforting talking with ppl who understand. I'll keep you in my prayers!
