2 weeks post of posterior L5-S1 Fusion with hardware

[Guest guest]

2 weeks since my spine fusion. I have pretty significant sensitivities to

Narcotics and was told that if possible I could try weaning off the meds at 2

weeks post op. Have been doing so this week since the 2 wk mark and woke up

feeling a little more unstable in the low back and " pinchy twingy " in that

worrysome way that feels surgery related. I didnt sleep well last night...guess

my body was a little less happy about only being able to sleep in one possition

without drugs. Though the pain itself is managable. Worried...is the

instability something I should be concierned about? Did I do something to my

back while sleeping restlessly last night? Or am I just feeling more of whats

really going on? Meds were Tramadol and a Scop patch so I wasnt heavitly

medicated to begin with. Mabey I'm just being paranoid.
