Post lumbar fusion spasms
by beboop, May 02, 2008 12:14PM
I am 2 months post surgery. I had minimally invasive TLIF surgery. Fusion L4-L5, L5-S1 with instrumentation. I continue to have bad low back spasms. These usually occur after floor exercise, getting out of bed in the morning, and immediately following the hands-on sessions with PT, massage etc. The spasms are so bad I have trouble getting up, and when I do I can't put weight on my left foot. Surgery was left sided. I also have had some minimal problem with controlling stool. I am on 30 mg MS Contin 3X day, Neurontin 600 mg 3X day, flexerill 10 mg 3X day, Baclofen 5 mg 2X, 10 mg 1X. Is this normal for 2 months out? I am really getting discouraged because it keeps me from advancing with the PT exercises. I was prescribed the baclofen by my neuro when I told him about the problem at my 6 week check up
