Well, I had my surgery to remove my hardware and I am still hurting, seems worse now than before.
I went to a pain clinic today. The doctor took me off the Lortab an put me on Oxycodone 15 mg. and Lyrica. I am supposed to call him within the week and let him know if he needs to change something or if it is working for me. He also talked to me about a spinal cord stimulator.
I don't know what I will do. I don't want to be dependent on medication the rest of my life nor do I want to be tied to having the SCS. Has anyone on the board had experience with one?
