Re: Post Op Three Months: Intense Pain - Hook Issue - Nee...

[Guest guest]

Yes, I have occasionally had pain where the hooks are in my back. I had

cortizone shots and that did help. My surgeon did it. Last time was in May

and have been pretty good so far. We will see once the winter comes. I

never seem to do well in the cold.

She is having consistent pain. At first it was unbearable. Now it hurts to get

out of bed. The locker issue has been resolved. The point is, I sent emails to

each and every teacher and her counselor, but no one could tell me that the

lockers were not assigned. I learned this from my daughter at the end of the

day. We had previously requested the extra set of books. Over one week later

they finally provided the lockers. In the meantime we made an agreement to leave

her backpack in her counselor's room. But why of all years, did this happen THIS

year? Its always something that you never think of...

As for her pain, we are now in crisis situation. She has missed five days of

school so far. It looks like we will have to request home bound services. What

I was trying to prevent by having the surgery in the summer, rather than the

holidays. Sigh...

PS: did the cortizone shots leave a white spot on your back? Our surgeon told us

steroids might do that. And its permanent. My daughter is worried about her huge

scar and now this?
