Regret, Regret....
 

I truely regret having had my back surgery. I have more pain now than ever in my hip and back whereas it used to be mostly in my leg.

I talked to the surgeon last week about it and he said I went back to work to soon and he wished I could find a different line of work, he said the kind of work I do that I will probably always have pain cause I keep it inflamed. He said he moved around tendons and ligaments and muscle and removed a large herniation and I went back to work before it had time to heal.

I cannot change jobs and even when I finish school the work is still hard manual labor.

I don't know what to do....I had hopes of being better after surgery and now its worse than ever.:shake:

I feel for you. I hope you feel better eventually.

If I had the luxury of not working I may heal one day, but thats not an option as its not for most of us.

Doctors kinda just suck.

Physical therapy. I will work wonders if (and only if) you stay with it.

I agree, I think sometimes they are just practicing.

disability? if your pain is that bad your doc should have no problems signing the papers.

I do have to say I am a bit disappointed, when I saw the thread title I thought for sure it meant she finally laid down for the lawn boy.

Why do you think we give a rat's ass?

What is it that makes you think that every ****ing thing in your life is something you have to share with everyone?

Ask him for a routine of stretches you can do and do them religously. Backs take a long time to heal. Up to two years. When I had my back fused I felt relief as soon as I woke in recovery. Hopefully you will get to a level of pain you can live with that was better than before. Stretches and strength exercises are the key now. And maybe some painkillers.

absolutely not. As long as I can function I will work. Nothing against it if its absolutely necessary, but as long as you can work I think you need to.

and pain killers...

I am debating a 3rd surgery on my foot. Not looking forward to it...

What does that mean in reality?

Careful, FAX! Thought you were married.. :eek:
