Thank you very much Lilly! Sciatic pain is bad Sad

. I figured that about the doctor, it's just bad that they will let someone suffer and basically tell them that it's in their head, because they are too proud to say "Well, maybe the surgery didn't work."! Thank you again for the response!

Tweety- I agree, it's the male ego thing! Yes, have to live with it unfortunately. PT hurts alot, they tell me that it's supposed to, I don't believe them. And it seems that no matter how bad I feel that day, they always tell me I'm looking better, lol. Thank you for your response! Smile

The doc told the pt that a side-effect of the Kadian is leg cramps, so atleast I know that, yay- a pain pill that gives you more pain. GO figure.

Be carefull of the sciatic pain. It can lead to other issues. One day at a time is all you can do at this point.

Tweety- thanks for the tip about bananas, I hadn't thought about them being good for the nerves, I'll start eating one everyday.

AQA- Thank you! Yes, one day at a time. Smile

kubo.I am a new person on this sight was reading some of your stuff lyrica did nothing for me my injury happened in 2002 suugery in 2003 back to work now everything worse and looking at fusion on lots of meds.seen lots of docs and all have differnt outlooks on fusion as i am only 29

Yellowbasil-
Welcome to the forum! I don't know yet if Lyrica will work for me, I hope it does, still waiting. The doctors all had different opinions on me getting a fusion also, I was 30 when mine was done. They thought that it would help, so they did it. It has done nothing but make things worse for me, I'm sure it's helped alot of people though. I hope if it is done to you, that it works and your pain is relieved. I'll pray for you, good luck and keep posting! Smile
