My Back Operation and Recovery

Hi, I was having bad lower back pain for years. I went to the Hospital and had a scan done, with x rays, last year, and this year. They said I had Herniated disks of lower l4 and l-5. So I figured that pain pills would work. We moved and got near the Orthopedic Specialty Group. I went to see my Regular Dr. She said I needed to get an MRI. I did and when I was in the Tube, I felt my lower back give a Disgusting CRUNCH. I knew I would be headed for the Surgeons office.

Well, I trusted these people because they worked on my knee so I knew I'd be in good hands. I went into the Dr's office and he sat me down and examined me, with the MRI. I liked his manner, because he showed me where the damage was and then explained everything to me. I went thru an ANTERIOR LUMBAR FUSION in the front and the other SURGEON FIXED 2 HERNIAS and Removed Scar Tissue and ADHESIONS. (Cut me in my lower abdomen) I was there from Tuesday till Saturday.I used the MORPHINE PUMP and then they gave me shots in my IV of TORADOL, and another pain medicine.WOW DID IT HURT!!!!!! worse than giving birth to 2 children.

I'm in the 7th week of recovery. It ACHES and I have my TRAMEDOL, for the pain. I'm in PHYSICAL THERAPY 2 times a week. MY Therapist is FANTASTIC, She has me on the machines now. I want to GO but I cant. It doesn't hurt like it did and I'm glad I did it, even tho I was scared OUT OF MY WITS. I HAD GOD, YESHUAH, AND MY HUSBAND and FAMILY THERE. - Rachaelle
