I finally did it! Been 6 years from the car accident and the pain just kept getting worse. Dec 6th was my surgery. So its now exactly 2 weeks post op. I'm handling the pain pretty good. But having nausea and vomiting and very depressed, hopefully this will stop soon. The sutures come out Wednesday. I sure hope this works and improves the quality of my life.

Good for you!! Hope your recovery goes well too. Be sure to tell your Dr about the nausea/vomiting and depression. If you don't get better call your anathesiest. Sometimes it just takes medication from them that needs to be prescribed for the nausea/vomiting, caused when they put us out,

Debi, Congratulations!
But u shouldn't be nauseous & throwing up. There is anti nausea meds. Any time I take an opiod after surgery I take an anti nausea medication 1/2 hour before. Talk to your dr. There is no reason for u to suffer like that.
B sure & b proactive with your recovery, take care of yourself.

Check with your doc about vomiting. You lived with the pain 6 years so this was the way to go. Hope you will be able to do all the things your pain kept you from doing and finally enjoy life again

Hi Tim. I just got the knee scooter it's great. I'm only touch toe bearing for now but it's only been 2 weeks. Why did you need a second surgery?

I know what your feeling I lost a lot since the accident in feb 2011. Car totaled, no more job, couldn't walk couldn't work lost a lot of "friends" that obviously were not really friends and the I was seeing for a year and a half walked out of my apartment for days after I came home and haven't seen him since. So believe I have had to deal with emotional as well as physical pain for the last 6 years. I'm hoping it will all be better soon for the both of us! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a better new year 🎄
