[ Home ] [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followups ] [ FAQ ] [ Back to Messages ] Message Posted by Barry on December 15, 2000 at 20:02:57: I had a L5-S1 fusion w/ anterior approach Sept 11 2000. I still have moderate to severe low back pain and pain in my legs. The leg pain is worse at night so that I can only sleep on one side or the other for about one hour. I also have swelling or edema in my legs which I didn't have before surgery. Has anyone had this type of edema following surgery? I am 47, weigh 180 and am in good shape. I am taking oxycontin 20 twice a day, norco 10 and ultram 50 four to five times a day. Has anyone had any trouble with their skin healing or fungal infections while taking ultram? Dec 27 I am having injections in my sacralilyac (spelling?) joints. Can anyone tell me if the pros and cons of this.
