I'm so sorry your daughter is going through this. Try not to worry about the pain pills. I bet they gave her a very low dose because of her age. Just have to take one when she really needs to.
These days they do alot of back surgeries very differently. My husbands best friend just had back surgery and it was an out patient procedure with a very tiny incision. I would imagine they can do the same kind of surgery with your daughter.
Thank you so much for the information it really does help. I was called last week and told they also think she has a pars fracture in her back also so we did a ct scan at the hospital yesterday and will see the surgeon again this Friday. Her surgery was moved until May.
You're very welcome.
I really am sorry your daughter is going through all of this at such a young age.
When she has the surgery she has to have a lot of rest. Moving around to much to fast can undo everything.
Please keep me up to date on how she's doing.
