Hello @mary1996 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a community of members sharing experiences and supporting one another.
It sounds like you weren't expecting these results. I wonder if you can share what information your surgeon shared with you with regard to your recovery and also if you've contacted them since surgery to express your concern about the pain?

I did talk to my doctor on the pain. He said it was very normal to have a lot of pain for around two weeks. When they put the spacers in they hammer it in place in your spine so there will be pain for a couple weeks. He had only gave me 20 pills to take every 4-6 hours. That only lasted a week. I have another script now and the pain is much better on this med.
