My pain after surgery.
Well now after the surgery my pain is quite different. Before surgery I had what I would call a deep constant pain just in my lower back and sometimes down my right leg. After the surgery the deep pain is gone but I now feel a very sharpe pain and the sharpe Pain mainly affects my right side of hip and down right leg. I can't even sleep on my right side cause it hurts so bad at times. The pain to me feels kinda like a pinched nerve. It hurts very bad when I drive or when I'm sitting down. I have a tendency to some what hunch forward when I drive or sit and that feels like my back is tring to pull apart. I have to drive 2.5 hours one way to my doctor, So needlsy to say I hurt very bad after making the drive to my doc. visits. I go back to doctor Monday for a post op. Visit and I'm gonna tell them about my pain and see what they say. I will let you all know how. The visit goes. I hope I answered your questions good enough for you all to understand how I feel. I'm only 29 years old. Some times I get so depressed about this cause I'm to dam young to be going through all this but it is what it is. Thanks for your imputs.

Trey,
At least you're going to the doctor tomorrow and should come away with a better understanding of what's going on. What level(s) were done? Please let us know what your doctor says. Dale

Well I went to my latest dr visit and everything looks to be just fine from the exrays I took. I am now taking a steroid dose pack to help with the healing. And since taking that dose pack I feel alot better. So things are looking better. I will post any changes of how I feel.

Good news. I know every little thing after surgery makes us go straight to the worst thing our minds can come up with - so I'm glad you're doing better. The road may not be easy but will hopefully get you to there.
Take is slow, Dale

I had a fusion at L5/S1 and it took about a year for the nerve pain in my legs to subside. I still have it on the bottoms of my feet though. My lower back hurts worse than before the surgery. Sounds like you are doing a bit better. Give it a good 6 months I'd say. Might be longer or shorter. Everyone heals differently.

Had a 360 lumbar fusion in May 2008 with cages, screws, hardware. It didn't fuse and one of the screws are loose. Also have a tear at L4 but they say it isn't touching the nerve. Have a bulging disc at T6 which causes middle back pain. I'm not even gonna mess with T6.
