15 months after l5s1 need opinions
I am now 15 months from l5s1 fusion.......but I feel worse! Leg pain gone but now my lower back is stabbing miserable pain into buttocks. Getting out of bed or from a chair is darn near tear jerking. How many people still feel like someone is stabbing them in the spine when sneezing or coughing?? I'm awaiting a cat scan and the only thing did gave me was muscle relaxers.....im down right miserable in pain. Any advice????

I have had good success with a tense unit and a very very strong back brace. I have a broken L2 right now. I eat aleve like pez candy. I too have muscle relaxers, but then I fall asleep and I want to....have to be alert.
Is it stabbing like nerve pain? As suggested above a tens unit might help.
Have you tried a heating pad or ice packs? When is your CT scan?
Below is link that might help you out with more ideas.
