7 weeks today......every time I think I am completely better, I realize that I still have a long way to go. I still get muscle spasms in my back, after walking for just a few minutes my muscles tighten up. The thigh muscle is still sore, the nerve still bothering me. A simple day of just doing a few things completely exhausts me. I am not sleeping well. I feel like THE THREE BEARS. One bed is too hard, one bed is too soft, and I can't find the one that's just right.
Using Tylenol for pain control but doesn't seem to help at times, I tried to get myself off Tramadol but I think I will need to rely on it for a while yet. Heating pad helps with the tight back muscles.
Physical therapy tomorrow.
It is nice to see you share your experiences here. Pain is not an easy thing to overcome.
ReplyDeleteMy wishes and prayers for you to get well soon.
