I'm 7 weeks post op TRKR -last week I started with groin pain that goes to right buttocks and feels like the worst cramps combined with the worst toothache pain you could ever have .The only relief was with rx pain pill precrived after

knee surgery. I saw the OS who took xrays and said pain is coming from compressed lumbar discs possibly pressing on nerve and referred to spine specialist in group also put me on strong NSAID and said i could continue to take pain med from knee surgery . NSAID calmed pain for 3 hours so need pain med .From what I read others in the forum have experienced this .My question ? Is there light at the end of this very dark tunnel ? I will

make appt with spine Doc today.
