Back Pain Support Group
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. In fact, about 3 in 4 adults will experience back pain during their lifetime! The term back pain includes pain affecting the neck, midback and low back. Acute back pain may begin suddenly with intense pain but typically lasts fewer than three months. Usually, chronic back pain is persistent, steady, and...
Hi gang,
Quick check in.
Having a rough day.
Before I went into surgery my back was bothering me. Not really much different. Had a very rough wake up from anesthesia. Between the fibro, the nausea, and the confusion, it was not fun. Not that it ever is.
So, now I lie on my sofa, both feet in surgical boots. I am so regretting having both feet done at once. I've had these procedures done before (all on the left foot). I never hurt like I do today. My feet hurt so bad, it's over powering the back.
Really hoping to feel better tomorrow!
Here's hoping for less pain for us all!
XOXO

What surgery did you have on your feet? I'm so sorry your in pain, and hope that you heal quickly, and that your back gets better. Maybe just laying there is not the best, but what the heck are supposed to do, if you had the surgery on both feet...obviously u can't walk and move around to loosen your back up.
Poor things, I hope you are ok, and have someone to take care of you, and do things for you.
HUGS,
Boo
I too am curious about what you had done on your feet..
Rest, I pray you feel better soon..
Sorry, I haven't really much felt techy until today!
I had two epidermoid inclusion cysts removed from my left foot (thanks to the topaz procedure for plantar fasciitis I had in December - it's my second time having cysts removed on the left foot), and I had the topaz procedure on the right foot (for plantar fasciitis).
It's bad enough having a bad back, but the feet chimed in a couple years ago, and it's been a long ordeal. I had to do both at once, because I don't have a lot of time saved up (due to all the surgeries (this is my fifth one on my left foot)). It's not doing too bad today. I was able to move from using the crutches to only using my cane. I still can't go very fast, though. Not that I could before. LOL!
Both my feet are bandaged up. Tomorrow, I will call the doctor's to make my two week appointment (stitch removal, and evaluation of right foot), and ask if I can take the bandages off. Until then, they stay on, and dry!
The foot/feet situation started with surgery, in 2011, for osteochondrosis (which means that the cartilage on the bottom of my tibia died and fell into the joint). The surgeon said I had the surgery (in 2011) just in time. The cartilage was starting to erode my tibia.
My back hasn't been too bad. Haven't really been moving around much. The sciatica does wake me up, and causes me to have to shift around a lot, but the intense pain hasn't been too bad. Too bad I don't have a computer job. I could work from home! LOL!!
I kinda had to back off the pain meds. Kinda embarrassing, but my piping backed up, if you know what I mean. I took one the night of the surgery (Friday) and took one about an hour ago, today.
Thanks so much for the hugs guys! Joining this group was one of the best decisions I've made!
Kisses to all!!
Here's hoping for less pain for us all!!
