Pain

[martha274]

I just had surgery on the 13th. When walking or moving aroung for about 45 mins,I feel  intolerable pain, and a warm, sensation in my lower back. I could barely stand it feels like my lower back has been beaten up. I did not have this before surgery. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Good morning,
How is everybody?
So last night I slept ok, this morning had to get up, can't sleep because my bladder wont let me! So definitely going to ask for those test today. Are there any specific test I should ask for. Feeling pretty depressed as I just want to be back to normal. I feel like an absentee wife, and mother, eventually my family will get sick of having to do everything.

  No worries....just take care so u get better soon : )

I had many UTI's and know how they can affect how u feel over all....and it is not good with trying to recover.....so best check nothing else is the issue at this point,

Keep us posted : )

Ok, I will. Ur right I just hate being on medication, and I am afraid they will find something, or what if they don't then it will look like I was exaggerating. But I will tell him tomorrow to just do the exams. Thank you for always responding Selma. I really appreciate so much.

  I understand ur not wanting to be in the hospital again so soon, but be careful u do not get a bladder infection or nething like that...drink plenty of water and it could be u need to be dilated....who knows...but do let them check u out and get it figured out soon, as ne infection in ur body now will affect ur recovery.

Hi Selma, I have to see him tomorrow. So I guess we will see then. I am actually feeling better. Although I have been getting some headaches. I decided to not take the medrol as I get  nightmares, and can't sleep when taking steroids. I am wondering though,maybe I should give my body a little more time. I really don't want to go back to the hospital,they are probably going to drug me up with stoids anyways. I am really worried about all of ths. I am going to see how tonight goes. The sensation that I have a full bladder and need to pee, really kicks in when I am laying down. But I had this problem prior to surgery. It just has gotten worse these past few days. It's really bad.
I also realized that when I get in the car and we are driving around I start to feel pain and pressure in the back of my head, and headache.
I just don't want to rush to have all these test and be in the hospital again, if I don't need to.

  Hi...I am  so sorry this is going on and that I was not on earlier......

U should get the testing done, the sooner the better...the urodynamics testing is just that a cath inserted to measure how much is in, how much comes out and the strength of the bladder muscles.....

  If u feel u may have TC this is a test that will have to be done at some point.....

  Call him back and go for it....find out what is going on so u can feel better....

I would also suggest u stand at the kitchen sink to wash ur hair, leaning back in the tub like that is not good  too earlier in recovery....
