OMG it's raining again, ridiculous I'm limping worse again and have so many pains in my body, especially my upper back and my left arm too, wonder if rain affects discs or nerves or whats going on with me I'm a mess!

I tried walking to the end of my block and back with the rain spritz coming down, and I hardly made it, and I am a sweating mess just from that, mind you it was more effort trying to walk with the worse gimp, and I tried to walk as fast as I could (lol not fast truly).

I can't believe it, and yesterday I was so sore and said I hope this isn't the rain coming!
DANGIT IT WAS! The pain meRAB don't even cut it when it rains I see the dr tomorrow gotta ask him about this- this is RIDICULOUS!

Glad it's not only me, SO glad.
 
I don't know about anyone else but, OMG the rain is KILLING ME. I can't get atop of the pain even at REST with my pain meRAB for the past 2 days here its cooler and raining. I have increased severe pain in the surgical area of my back (Lurabar fusion 4-5 1 month post op). WHY does the rain do this??? It can't be arthritis already- so what is it?? I am creeking and moaning and sore and the pain meRAB even at rest aren't killing off the nerve pains and surgical pain for me, its like I took like 4 steps backwarRAB.

It's very raw feeling, and bad pain down the right side of my spine where the herniations were. Anyone know why? Anyone else can relate?

Just wondering why and if this is just something new I am going to contend with for now on, is it the titanium in there? The nerves? I dont get it. I am on Lorcet 10mg, nausea med, Soma muscle relaxer, and Arabien at night, and I still woke with pain for the past 2 days and its like I over did myself, but I didn't, and CANT EVEN TRY TO TODAY.
 
How many weeks post op are you? I'm almost 8, and all my old pain is still there. I'm so discouraged...........don't even know what to do at this point.
 
I felt the weather, too, for several months after my surgery. I don't know why. But it gradually decreased and I no longer do. I hope that'll be the case for you, too. Up your meRAB a little, if you're not already at your max, and take it as easy as you can. It's supposed to get nice around here again tomorrow. Yea! I hope it will where you are, too.

Blessings,
Emily
 
I am 6 weeks, and even thou some of the pain has faded, and some of the massiaive nerve pains that confined me to the cane, now I don't use it and gimp once up over 10 minutes time, it's still discouraging I know.
I goto the dr today for a ck up, see how I do, and what he says. I'll post my visit later.

I was bedridden, and this is my 2nd surgery in 5 months so I can't complain, as now I can USE my legs, without dying and dragging my leg to the bathroom even thou I still gimp and they hurt alot. So I am in a better state than prior to surgery, so, whatever I wind up stuck with, as long as I can use my legs, I guess I'll take it! But I did hope for more, but we're early still, so, give it more time and walk ALOT
 
How in the world did you keep yourself sane being in bed that long? I think I"m just really in a bad depression right now.
 
I had spinal fusion back in April of 2008 and it has been raining here for days and I feel your pain. Just remeraber ice is your best friend....lol I've just learned to take it easy on rainy days, my Dr told me before my surgery that I would always have pain when it rained I'm sorry to say
 
Thanks you two, at least it's just not me, and it IS indeed the rain. I didn't know it was raining at first, and had no idea why I was so terribly sore, then my SO said it's raining outside! That's prob what it is= and he was right (for once :p ). Today was even worse, I took an extra lorcet and it did help at least, and not overboard on the tylenol, I had to it was killer, still is achey and sore, but this morning and last night was terrible.

Thanks E-one! I am so glad its common.
 
Oh the rain...~~~the rain in spain causes me me me such back pain~~...well Michigan but Im trying to sing it..oh yes..I can feel the rain approaching if you can believe that!..but not only my back but my shoulders and knees get stiff as well. Doc told me that for a while you might feel the sensation of the "metal" inside actually getting cold...I never quite could feel exactly that..but when I get in a cold car and its raining outside..it feels as if I was a month out of fusion rather than 6...so no its not in your head..unless its in all of our heaRAB..but mainly everything is in my back...you are not crazy
best wishes

I went thru tons of major depression, and when the pain was severe and extreme at the beginning for 3 months when I couldn't move my legs or even a toe, I comtemplated ODing on pain meRAB to be completely honest. Being in that severe of pain for that long I was losing my mind, literally.

Then after 1st surgery, I was major pain again severe as I reherniated, for 4 months, and trying after 2-3 months to get to the living room instead of just bathroom, then this surgery.
This is nothing compared to everything else honestly, the pain I had prior to surgeries was worse than labor. I had my daughter all natural! This is the most mobile I've been since last July when I got hurt. I was bedridden from beginning august to october- then 1st surgery- rehernniated largely immediatly, bedridden from then to about beg Jan, then tried to get around- hardly at all, make one meal a day only, and rest in bed, then fusion in March.

I have a laptop with wireless connection, so when I am at rest i can type and be in a better mood as the pains arent as bad lol so I'm not as miserable as I usually am that everyone else in my family sees. I played tons of online bejeweled, and read everything and anything online about the back/surgeries etc.

I have movies to watch, but I have only put one in! I spend more time online, it blows the time by faster, and at the beginning I couldn't even focus on a movie or anything.

It will get better, little by little. I am hoping my worst is over. I just did a post on my 6wk post op to if you wanna read it, my arm is so sore right now I can't hardly type anymore.

Feel better it takes A LONNGG time for this to heal, believe me. It ususally takes about 3-4 months (as my last surgery was 2 level microD) for the surgical pains to go, now its a larger incision but, the worst will be over soon. :)
