Close Gastric Bypass Surgery
I've been waiting for 9 months. Initially I was scheduled for surgery August 12th. Praise God they called and moved the date up to July 22nd. Being a teacher, this will allow me to return to work as scheduled.
Close Back Pain
I broke my back in three places. severe damage to the nerve root at the level of the sciatic notch. spinal fusion done 9 years later, in 2005.
Treatments
- Carisoprodol Somewhat Helpful

- This sent the pain through the roof, and didn't help even a little.
- Epidural Injection Not Working
- Didn't help even a little.
- Fentanyl Working / Worked
- It took the edge off at the highest dose available, when combined with the highest level of percocet every four hours.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- It is helpful, especially since the fused the spine.
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- after the spinal fusion, I've found that traction during PT is quite helpful.
