Gloria, I hope this works for you...you are most certainly in my prayers. I know how it feels and I pray, pray, pray and wish you the best and most successful of surgeries.
The way i get relief sometimes is to lay on my stomach and pull my right leg up far as I can, it helps for a while then starts back. If I am having a really bad night, my leg starts to spasm kinda jerks and I can't control it.

That works too. I never had the spasms though- just an unforgivable piercing pain that wouldn't go away.

I still recall the morning, long before I had surgery, when I stormed into my doctor's office and told him he had my permission to sever my right leg right then and there. I couldn't take it anymore and I was that desperate. Obviously he suggested pain killers and surgery and I took the pain killers route first, and then the surgery.

Keep in mind its not just oxycontin. They will probably not give them to you but there are a few others that are worse. Just PLEASE don't put anything into your body you don't know about first (this goes for more than just drugs).

BTW, I was serious about the boob job. ROFL

I have said that exact thing!! I really have, before they checked my back they was saying it was neuropathy. I went to the dr once and told him just to amputate my leg I would rather have it gone than to live with this much pain. I understand where you're coming from with that statement. The pain is terrible, but the burn is sickening.

It is terrible, but it will go away with the surgery and you will be dancing on sunshine again.

They ****ed up during my surgery and I had to go back to have the spinal fluid drained. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you. Having them stick a giant needle in your back is no picnic, but it's still better than that sciatica.

Let me know how it goes. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

He mentioned something, he said "where this has been sitting on here so long, when I lift if up it may leak and I may have to put a couple of stiches in and you will have a excruitating headache for about 2 days.

The sound of someone on CP 'rubbing one off' could be heard in the distance. (edit: It wasn't me.)

I can't respond to that because your back issue is likely different than what I had and of course, I haven't seen the scans or xrays or anything. Those scans used to freak me out...ugghhh. I swear I didn't think I had any fears until they put me in one of those things for a half hour.

It sounds like you are experiencing the same sciatic nerve issue I had, but that can be caused by the compression on the nerve in any level of your spine such as the 5th lumbar as you stated. And it's the precise location that matters the most in your healing.

Every girl looks good with a pair of DDs!
That would do wonders for her back.

Good luck to you. I know its gotta be nerve wracking but you work as a nurse right? You know they are pretty good at what they do.

Be sure to ask for lots of orange juice from the nurses.

Ask for Vicodin, Percoet does do much for me.
