Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I am post anterior dicsectomy w/fusion c5-6. Oct 29, 2002 was my surgery date. Went home the 31st feeling alittle weak and sore but otherwise not bad considering. The endocet makes me nauseous but I only take pain meds when I am really uncomfortable. I am in a Miami collar for 6 weeks, with soft collar for sleeping. No instumentation. My shoulders ache and inbetween my shoulder blades also. Ive tried ice and heat nothing works great.Any suggestions? Other Meds? I feel like a little old lady....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too feel this way, but my problems are all the way at the other end of the spectrum. I'm thinking that the endocet is a drug? You should ask your Doc for a different kind that you are able to tolerate a little better. There are tons of options out there. Right after my first surgery, my Doc gave me Mepergan Forte(SP?) and after some hallucinations, we went with Tylox instead If you were further along in your healing process, then this might not be necessary, but given you have a little ways to go....there is no need to go thru it in pain. Hope you find some relief And welcome to the group! Ask me about my new MSM lotion for aches/pains! http://www.scentsappeal.net ---------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 yes I guess that is part of what its all about...Its very deep pulling out those roots!In the end though it is worth it what do we have if we have no health?BlessingsCassAustraliaIn any event, it seems that the crutches I've used to deal with adrenal fatigue are now being pulled from under me, and I find that scary. Does anyone have a similar story? Anyone learn to deal with adrenal fatigue and psoriasis at the same time? Thanks Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
