Any Help for Pre Op Lower Back Pain?

[Guest guest]

Every once in a while he old sciatic(sp?)nerve has to act up, and of

course it has to be a week before surgery. My lower back hurts

terrible and I have occasional muscle spasms. God it going to be nice

to shed some weight and these problems. Normally aspirin and time

takes care of it but I can't take aspirin pre surgery. I will live

with this if I must until I'm replumbed. I do have an email into the

doc, but sometimes its takes a little time for him to get back to

you. I'm trying hot showers, heating pads, and staying flat as much

as I can, all to little or no avail. Any suggestions?

11 days and counting...
