spinal surjury and pain control Posted: 06-14-08 02:40am


I had a spinal fusion, two replaced discs and a cage around the area of L3 and L5. I also have spinal stenosis, RA, ostioarthritis and fibromyalgia. I have spondolothesis and degenerative arthritis in my back. I have had the arthritis and fibroymialgia for some time. The back surgery took place after two compressed fractures from a fall at work. It took 7 months to get the surgery becuse this was a workers comp.I have L3- L5 fused and in a cage with screws. I also had to. It has been 5 months since the surgery and I still suffer with awful pain. The arthritis has gotten much worse from lack of any exercise and depression has set in as well. My doctor is taking off pain meds except for acetaminophen cod. I was told last week at my appt can't start rehab because he wants me to be fitted with a bone growth stimulator as he isn't happy with some of the fusion. If and when I ever get it it will be six weeks wearing it. The pain is real but they are weaning me off any pain meds before the pain is gone . Has any one got any help for me. My family is affected and my husband and I have become a recluse. Help
