@des46893 I also suffered from extreme back pain and was also eventually that it was told due to the way i was positioned during the 8 1/2 hour surgery. One week later here i am in hospital again with a second surgery over the first and enduring the back pain all over again. More site surgery pain too.

gaylea, I am sorry to hear that you are in the hospital. I know that recovery takes a different path for each one of us. Try to remember that the surgical back pain (awful as it is) is going to go away as you continue to heal and to start walking and being 'normal' again. I had a surgical procedure over my transplant was 1 year old. So I did not have the same degree of pain that you must be feeling.

Will you be going home soon? Have they given you anything to ease the pain? Are you able to get out of bed and walk?
I am sending gentle hugs via cyberspace.
