PAIN ,PAIN, PAIN

[lovelyladyone]

.The big question is why am i in so much pain? three months after my surgery on my back, which was suppost to make me better; but now i am ten time worse then before. My doctor tells me over and over that i will heal and some people take longer then other. The type of pain that i am having is unreal. The surgery was march the third. I had a large herniated lumbar disc, lumbar stenosis, spondylolethiasis, and a L4 to S1 fusion. Two days after surgery the doctor sent me to a nursing home i was there for thirty days, then april the third thet kick me out ;  the nursing home the doctor that was in the nursing home and some of the nurses said that i was not ready to leave yet; but because of the insurance company, but it really didn't matter, because they only walk me six times the whole time and it i was suppost walk every day. To make matter worse they had me on every pain meds you could think of and then send me home with nothing. And between the doctors and the pharmacy i had no pain meds for two weeks; it was like being under rubble waiting for help and when i did get it did not work. The pain got so bad i had to go back to the hospital for a week and they only pump me with all kinds of drugs, setroids, iv morphine and pill morphine,vicodin,valium,lortab,tramadol,gabapentin. He was just trying to get me out of pain then send me home. Then two days the pain was back i went to see him and he gave me RX of oxy 60mg twice aday on the other stuff but told me to stop the morphine. this last time that i was in the hospital they did a mri and ct.One doctor said everything looks alright then another doctor said that there is a bluge in between L4 and L5 and that may be causing some of this pain and does not know what else can be making this pain that bad. I think he does know but not telling me i am only 43 years old. And i am so afraid that i am going to be like this for ever. what should i do? HELP PLEASE DIANA

.In the morning it is the worse, i can get out of bed only on my left side; the right side no way without screaming bloodly murder. and I have to sit there  for awhile until i can get up with my still in pain and sometimes I have to go to the bathroom and thank god i have a potty chair in my room but some morning i even have to have help gettin out of bed. And I am just tring to deal with this and this can;t  normal I don't care if the doctor told me that some patients take longer then other, but I am ten times worse then before. It seem my life nothing every easy for me matter what it is; but I keep holding on in the faith of god.

My lawyer call me yesterday and he wants me to go to his doctor, he also told me he just sue a doctor for back surgery gone wrong for over$200,000, Its been 4 months and i had no PT, that alone is enough to sue for; but its much more than that; it started in the recovery room and down hill since and the nursing home and the state if i can, wish me luck and i am not taking no settlements, because i am ten time worse then before surgery. And i have nothing but time. i'''''ll try to stay intouch.

                                                 thank you  diana

well i would definately try to see another doc somewhere else ,but as you say insurance reasons may damper that.clearly state your mind to your doc.tell them how you feel.
