My journey with a T11 to L4 spinal fusion - 40 degree scoliosis curve

We flew from Portugal to Boston to Phoenix, and I didn’t have the lower spine problems as before; the test will be in July, when we take two car trips to California, Last year, I was screaming after 1 hour.
However, I am taking a low-opiate buprenorphine at 25 mg for a condition associated with RLS called Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. I am not sure if that has helped the lower spinal condition.
Write to me late July, and I will let you know.

I wonder if your PLMD is a result of your spine problems?
I’m glad to hear that you were able to take a trip without being in so much pain. I will definitely check in with you next month to see how your California trips go!
We are camping in the Bodega Bay area in August and the 3 Hour drive would have me dreading the pain of sitting in the vehicle, but not anymore 😊🙏!!!
