Ask for an epidural for first three days. And if you are used to

pain meds and are tolerant, make sure that there is a plan for extra

meds as you will need then. And also remember to manage your bowels

with miralax and softeners from the beginning.

I have had epidural and I have got screws and plates in my neck. I am glad you

made that comment to ask epidurals for the first 3 days.

My brother-in-law had the same surgeries 5 times but the doctor said that I

would be a good candidate for surgery I am getting a second opinion from a

better doctor.

God Bless
