Thank you for caring and sharing! A neurosurgeon did my scoliosis surgery a little over a year ago. It was very extensive and he believed it would take a year for recovery. Have had lots of gastro issues and had my gallbladder out a few months ago. That extended my recovery period. I have lost about 15 pounds and need to add that weight back to get healthy. Still doing light physical therapy. Ice packs do help so I rest twice a day with that. My pain mgt dr I'd changing my pain med from hydrocodone to nucynta. Then after a few days psych has recommended Cymbalta. Seeing a counselor. Praying lots and still holding on to God's promises to be with me.

Hi, I'm hoping and praying that your recovery is going well and your pain is lessened. My doctor has prescribed a compounded pain cream with ketamine, lidocaine, ibuprofen, and other agents. Works extremely well at reducing back pain, muscle pain, and even arthritis pain. You might want to ask your pain doctor for a prescription to try it. Best wishes and blessings to you!

Cymbalta is very hard to come off of. Research @ Cymbalta hurts worse. I’ve tried for 1 yr and had to go back on to take care of my Mom before she passed and haven’t tried again. They have a protocol to get off. I wish you the best. I just got the Nevro DRG stimulater . Not working. Going tommow to see about the leads with an X-ray . Wish me luck!
