Regret, Regret....

[badgirl]

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.

Pay for what? My insurance paid 100 percent which includes therapy and all the post visits to the Dr. I only had to pay 100.00 co-pay.

5 weeks of PT is nothing. Absolutely nothing.

If you've had back surgery, you need years of PT. Literally. If, that is, you want to live relatively pain free.

yes thats the reason for the surgery, thats almost exactly what I told my dr. I just want to live a normal life where I can get up and have a pain free day. shit at least before surgery I did have a day here and there that I didn't hurt, not any more its everyday now.

Its different kind of pain it used to be burning and pain in my right leg, the burning was awful. This pain I now have in my hip feels like someone has a pry bar in my hip socket prying it apart, and my back aches like a tooth ache. the burning is not completely gone. The surgeon said it was nerve damage.

Will what return me close to normal life? You mean the surgery I had and the PT afterward? No its worse than before surgery. I wish to God I had never had it.
