I am so sorry that your pain continues at such a high level. I have my stitches out tomorrow and have some questions to ask about the fusion. I wonder if you are taking enough medication right now to help the pain? What about some nuerontin to help with the nerve pain. Are your legs or feet numb all the time? What did your Dr. say about that?
Walking an hour a day is a lot. Do you think that is causing more pain? I count walking around the house walking at this point and then one 15 minute walk outside but I think I will get instructions to walk more.
I can't wait to shower when the stitches are out and I won't need help to cover the incision with waterproof bandages. Hang in there, and I hope each day will be better and better.
Phylly
