I came out of surgery but had back spasms from 1pm friday after noon till 3pm saturday.

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2006/09/15, 07:40 PM Yesterday felt good. I had stopped all pain meds and fetl good. Then last night came. The night before I had been up late just could not fall alseep I thought it was becase of a nap. Yesterday i did not take a nap and was up till 2 am. I finally broke down and took 2 pian pills and passed out, I only took then as by this point my back was tight and painfull, that worked as I did not wake till 8am. I got up then to see my oldest son Alex off to school, then took a 2 hour nap later. I am worried that I will need to do the same tonight. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/09/17, 12:41 PM Hnag in there Mutt. Keep in mind the trauma your system has been through and focus on your future goals. Don't be reluctant to use your pain medication - there is nothing wrong with it and you need sleep to heal and feel better. I am sure your family understands that you are cranky because you don't feel good. This too shall pass. -------------- We are what we repeatedly do.

I've had some surgery in the past and because I felt Ok, I went ahead with my normal routine....boy did I pay for it later, laid me up for an extra 3 weeks!
7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2006/09/20, 09:18 AM I am trust me. I am going slow the pace last night was about 50rpm not my normal 64. I felt good a bit winded but good. I will most likly wait till tomorrow to go. I think that is the best way to do it right now. It was hard to go in there and not lift weights so contrary to my nature. I saw my "boys" in there squatting and benching and whatnot and had a very hard time walking out. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

I am tired and achy all over and just want to sleep all day. Work is pure torture as I can hardly finish the day awake. I am getting about 8-8.5 hrs of sleep.
