It is just after two weeks from my spinal operations to fuse L4 and L5. The post op pain was intense. Morphine helps but also makes me drowsy. I have only PCA for 2 days. After which it was oral opiate. I had an episode of cold turkey when I sweat profusely and feels so unwell throughout. My doctor says it is the side effects of Tramadol. So I stop taking Tramadol.
Today, I am not taking any painkillers anymore. Not even paracetamol or commonly known as Panadol. Only issue is during driving. I can feel the pressure of the metal pressing into my flesh.
I am starting to feel more normal and very glad for it!

Wow I salute you because I can't even stand the muscle pull
in my back. You are very brave because you still drive and walk.
Hope the pain will go away quickly BL :)
BT, thanks. It takes time to heal. Right now, my right hip is giving problem. I think it is the wound healing causing the change in the pain position.
