Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Unfortunatly I think any good pain med will bind you up. It should get better though the more you use it. Drink lots of water. I hope you get relief and feel better soon. Marcia Stoyle <marciastoyle@...> wrote: I was scheduled for surgery on January 3rd.

They did a lumbarsurgery:lumbar decompression with fusion L2 -S1. I came home from the hospital on Sunday. The pain is level 9. Iam taking hydrocodone bitartrate with acetaminophen 10 mg/325mg twotablets every six hours. I have not had a bowel movement in eightdays. They gave me nothing but stool softeners. I have eaten onlyfruit for the past week. The home health aide gave me Milk of Magnesiayesterday. No results. Today she gave me an enema = things are movingnow! The pain meds just bind me up. I phoned the surgeon at 2:30pmtoday. The secretary said she would get back to me....nothing yet, andit is 6:15pm. I am hoping the phone will ring, and another pain medwill help. thanks for listening...gentle hugs! Marcia in Western NewYork State. --- "m.zaharkiv" <m.zaharkiv > wrote:> Just checking in.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I am sorry you are in so much pain. I hope you will start feeling better soon. I had the L4 disc surgery a year ago and five weeks later had a car wreck and fractured my L1 vertebrae and had veterbro plasti. I was taken to the local hospital that is only good for bandaids. They sent me home their diagnosis pulled muscles when I had a broken back. Three weeks after I had the wreck I couldn't walk or get out of bed without help I was diagnosed with RA severe. I am now walking without the walker. I know what pain you must be going through. I also have constipation on pain meds. I will just take time for you to get better. I will pray for you.
