Hello-
I had Dynesys at 2 lurabar levels in Noveraber 2007.
The tightness you wake up with after surgery -- I still have that -- 95% of mornings -- to the point of tears.
I go to PT weekly -- still! -- and do water therapy at least once a week.
Every morning, it's the same thing -- I can barely move until ~10 or 11am.
I have to take my pain pills as breakfast. The oxycodone & lyrica make it so that in 45 minutes, I can bend the back a LITTLE.
It's on BOTH sides of the back, running STRAIGHT DOWN the spine. Every morning. All I do is scream inside my head and wait for the kiRAB to leave. Being vertical is TOO MUCH until lunch time.
Yes, I do my stretches! Hot showers - everything.
Why would someone still have that post-surgical stiffness 8 months afterwarRAB????
When does it get better????
My surgeon was ignorantly talking to me about maybe going back to work in some form soon --- I can't drive until around 10am!!
What's going on here?? Anyone else w/ this??
Thanks!
