I think you are getting a little a head of yourself. I had a bulging disc/my two brothers have had bulging discs we were all in our early 30's and after 8 weeks of bed rest and or back brace and loaRAB of pain meRAB and muscle relaxers we are all just fine and went on to live life to the...

It could be the breasts or it could be you are not moving/twisting/bending properly. It is hard to know. You would need to go to maybe a rehabilitation clinic for an evaluation? or call them to see if this is the place to start....but I am guessing they will ask you to start with a physical...

I feel your pain! know exactly how you feel and it is going to take a couple of months to heal but you need to call you dr office and tell them that what you are on isn't helping much and could they suggest something more or something else...there is all kinRAB of pain meRAB and you shouldn't...

Thank you for posting your experience with the stimulator...would you happen to know what brand was implanted?

If you have been through several of them then you would know more than most where to buy them. Online search shows them/medical grade to be available in many places. I am sure at your local pharmacy. I have two or three myself that I get at garage sales...I personally don't care if they are...

I give it to my husband twice a day for the past 3 years. It doesn't help with pain. I can only hope it is helping in some way that we don't know about. He has his lab values done quite often and it doesn't appear to change any values.

A couple weeks ago we had to drive my Jeep Wrangler up to the next town for repairs and so we drove two vehicles so we could leave it there. Husband with serious back problems drove the Jeep for 1 1/2 hours straight. I thought I was going to have to put him in a body bag by the time that trip...

Try some over the counter anti-inflammatory's for awhile to see if that helps. Some muscles/tendons take a very long time to heal and as long as your pain isn't coming from your spinal column then no problem ...well except for annoying pain. and of course don't sit for a long period of time...

I'm guessing you have a bulging disc and if you do it will take like 8 weeks for it to resolve itself. The pain is incredible for a long, long time. The only course of treatment is bed rest, muscle relaxants and lots of pain pills. good luck.

The answer to your question is no. Only positioning will help sciatic pain. Check the internet for things you can do but mostly sciatic pain is something that eventually will require surgery and not doing certain physical things that cause irritation to your back....like horse back riding or a...

Something doesn't sound right with all of this...are you sure your PM doc isn't suppose to be covering your pain? I was thinking your surgeon is just a jerk but I can't believe he would expect you to recover without pain meRAB on board ......you are entitled to have no pain. In the health...

Rather than switching muscle relaxers I'm thinking you need to add a pain medicine to the relaxers as they are not pain relievers.

My husband had the same area operated on and he was left with a weak right leg. His doctor cut his spinal cord open which was a mistake ...it also cut several nerves so it gave my husband an automatic nurabness to many of his lower areas of his anatomy...and it also made his right leg very weak...

I just have to say my husband was on very high pain medications for a few years...200mcg of Fentanyl pain patches along with many milligrams (60 to 80)of Oxicodone's. It was because of the high pain meRAB he decided he wanted the SCS so he could reduce dosage and always feeling like he was...

I am sorry for your frustration. It really doesn't sound like anxiety. I'm wondering if you should be going to some sort of Sleep Apnea Clinic/doctor. My husband has to sleep in a chair also but his medical conditions are so numerous that he can't be fixed but I sure do understand your total...

What you need is a referral to a spinal rehap clinic ....they should see your surgical notes from your surgeon and then they can do some physical testing and some strengthening exercises and with that they may want you to have another CT scan to make sure things are healing properly. I'm not...

I have never heard of removing internal hardware....if my husband removed his hardware which is 12 inches and 8 inches he would fall apart....literally. Not to mention that would be major surgery. He also has an internal back stimulator which has proven to be worth all the pain it took to put...

There is quick and painless test to find out if there is nerve damage. Ask for an EMG nerve conduction study. If you already had the test then only time is going to heal you and it might take months and months and would only think that medications would relieve you of pain. good luck.

We use Flonase sprayed on the skin and let it dry then put the bandaid on. Flonase is a nasal spray with Cortisone...it is the cortisone that keeps my husband from blisters.

It is hard to say but if you are feeling somewhat better perhaps you just need to wait a while longer...sometimes it will take a full 8+ weeks to feel good but it appears your doctor anticipated you will need a check in with him around that time so be patient until your appointment ...he may...
