It's been 3 1/2 months from my 3-level ADR. Keep in mind I have two remaining severely degenerated discs above my implants. I am feeling great, with minimal pain most of the time. I have been able to decrease my dosage of Oxycontin to 10 - 20 mg per day prn and taking Naproxen 500mg BID. I am a Reg. Nurse and work in a nursing home. Dr. B has given me permanent, life-long restrictions in an attempt to decrease the likelyhood I will have to return for surgery to replace the L1/2, 2/3. My hubby is afraid I am wanting to return too soon, but I am tired of being broke, with him shouldering all the financial burden. I do get a small pension from WC, but it doesn't even cover the loan for my surgery. I continue to walk, do physio daily and have not had any distraction pain thus far. Do I chance it?
