Please respond: Survey of type of pain before lumbar ADR's

[biakenny]

I am wondering what type of a pain did ADR folks have before surgery.
1) Stabbing?
2) Aching?
3) Dull?
4) Shooting?
5) Burning?
6) Electric shock like?


What paid did you have after?
1) Stabbing?
2) Aching?
3) Dull?
4) Shooting?
5) Burning?
6) Electric shock like?


I am trying to decide if ADR will help to address my type of pain.

Before:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- they could all describe the variations in pain I felt. Primarily it was 2 & 4 I guess. At times I couldn't quite describe it because it was just PAIN.

After:
Primarily none of the above. Occasionally what I would call a "dull ache". Typically caused either by me pushing myself too much or as mentioned in the other poll someone created... that monthly natural torture women are subjected to causes me a dull ache.


I'm not sure a simple poll such as this can truly give you a good picture of whether or not ADR will help your situation. I say this because everyone's situation is different due to everyone's body being different. I hope you don't intend on using a before/after poll as your main method of decision making. Read through the pre/post-op stories for folks with similar levels worked on to those you're dealing with.

Also, Harrison will likely echo this but you'll need a signature with your situation details similar to those you'll see throughout the board. It'll help folks like us who've been around a while help you better.
