NEED HELP CAN'T HANDLE TO MUCH MORE PAIN

.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

Do you mean that you had an former screen name and are now using a new one? If so and you would like to have them combined let me know. I think I can have the two become one...but I would have to check with our mods.

I understand that it is easier to copy and past instead of re-type and repeat. So no wories about that.

Please let me know if I can help you.

Peace,

Because i copy and paste some of things i had on the other instead of doing it over, but I have way more friends on the old one lovrbirddiana; then i do on lovelyladyone,. I've been trying to invite them to my new one, because i bookmark the old one but when i press profile it takes me to the new one. I have been member for a couple years. and I got lots of help on here from alot of good people. Because you can chat about everything and not be ashame because you may never meet the people unless you want to.

Thank You
