Will I ever get there?
Posted , 11 users are following.
Im now 5 weeks post op after RTKR. For the last 3 weeks Ive been going to hydrotherapy at the hospital. When i was first measured I only had a bend of 65. After weeks of daily exercises, weekly physio and a few private physio sessions at home im now +8/80
getting really fed up and feel that i will never get any better. Im not sleeping and now getting very tetchy with my husband. I have a very demanding job and my boss is expecting me back to work soon. I feel terrible, despondent and wishing i had never had this awful operation. Will I ever sleep again, feel like myself again and be able to function without handfuls if opiods???

thankfully Im retired, so I didnt' have to worry about going back to a job. Good thing too, because Im a year nd half post surgery, and still in pain....
Go to your internist and ask for something to help you sleep. Or grab something OTC for sleep. You need to sleep.

They look good! The burning may continue for a bit. The body takes it's time to heal.

This burning brings me to tears. I cant handle this pain day to day. NO painkiller seems to work nor cream or rub on!
