Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi all, I will be 5 weeks post op on Feb 7th. I have a lot of painful aching in my lower back/spine area. Especially after sitting for a period of time. The aching is from the tailbone to a little above my scar point. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? or any advice?? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 As others mentioned, this is to be expected at 5 weeks post op! You are SO EARLY in the healing process. It took me almost 1 1/2 years to heal from this surgery -- so be patient. I remember worrying it would never get better but it did! Same thing with my recent spinal fusion -- I am 6 months post op and my NS said I need to give it 1 1/2 years to fully heal. Hang in there, things will get better.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sorry to hear you are uncomfortable but it takes up to a year for the nerves to settle down after surgery. As long as you have no unusual swelling or redness in that area it is probably just part of healing. Hang in there!
