Study opportunity: Seeking people with chronic low back pain and depression or anxiety symptoms Dec 23, 2023 | By W. Michael Hooten, M.D. (@wmichaelhootenmd)Comment receiving replies
Any studies about anxiety issues after laminectomy or other back pain surgery. Had minimal anxiety pre-surgery. Now it’s worse than my surgery recovery process. Especially digestive issues seem to kick it off. ? Body position during surgery and/or intubation?

Why do you think these issues are worse postop? Usually if I think about it, I can figure out why I have them. Not that it always helps or makes things better. I know why I have sleep anxiety but nothing seems to overcome it. I tried to see a therapist but couldn’t get in for months. Which didn’t help my anxiety. Argh.
