3 months post op L5/S1 PLIF - questions

[fischotter]

I have the same Promlems taking off oxycodon. I raised the amount from 120mg to 60mg and then after three weeks i tried to go down another 10mg. When i was at 30mg, i had exactly the same Problems as your Dad. The only difference i am 60 years old and have at the time 6 operations behind me. At the moment I am taking 3 x 20mg because the Pain has raised again. In about 2-3 years i will be fixed from th3 to s1.
have a nice sunday.

ciao

Your dad may have some depression. I think it comes from loss of hope that things will get better. I think your Dad has made excellent progress. I hope he feels better soon.
