Hi Pam. I was wondering if you would email me. I had a very similar experience. The doctor was doing a laminectomy on L3/L4 and cut the 'dura' which exposed the nerve. It was exposed for 2 weeks before they had to do another surgery to correct the problem. However, I still cannot stand or walk for more than 5 minutes. I was on methadone, morphine, and now oxycontin and percocet with all the lovely side affects. I think we can both empathize with each other and get each other through this. It always helps to know you are not alone. Please, write me, k?

Pam,
I hope you are feeling better today.... I did send word out to a few of the members that have been on BT longer than me and might know you. This is a difficult time of the year for everyone with the holiday season quickly approaching. It causes those without pain stress, so those of us with chronic pain feel the pain of this season 100 times more. Please check in and let us know that you are okay today and were just feeling a little down and in a lot of pain last night... Gloria
