Surgery went as expected, after spinal wore off, was in a lot of pain, all the meds they gave me only quietened things down by day 3. I cannot take codeine and oxycodone made me sick, so ended up on tramadol and paracetamol with oxymorph at night and gabapentin for the nerve pain. Since home, the neuro pain is going through the roof and the tramadol does not even make any difference, but that is all I came out with. I'm planning to see a doc tomorrow to try and get something else as I'm not coping with the searing pain, can hardly write here and can't remember what sleep is. I'm walking ok on crutches, if a bit unsteady, bending and leg lifting set off the nerve pain. Any other ideas please?
