6 Days Post OP

Post by Princesspokie »

Well my fellow PN Family I am 6 days post op and I am feeling amazing! I still have not experienced any of the PN pain that I have had for over the last year! I hope I continue on the road that I am currently on! An added note, I went to the mall this weekend for an hour! I'm a bit tired, think I over did it this weekend with family being here. Again, if anyone has questions please ask!

Ps... My wonderful husband took a picture of my incision...models would love it!

Wow, your recovery is certainly amazing. Can you refresh us on what approach the surgery was, if it was bilateral, ligaments cut, surgeon, and meds you are taking. Happy for your recovery! kone

Further questions: Can you sit down yet? How long were you in the hospital?

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.

Well as for medications, I take 100mg of Lyrica 3 times a day, .5 mg of clonazapam, I'm on 25mg of fetanyal and 200 mg of zoloft. As for my surgery, Dr. Antolak uses the TG Approach. I didn't have any ligaments or tendons removed. I was in the hospital for 2 nights and got to come home the afternoon of the 3rd day. The ride home wasn't the most comfortable but I made it. I only had to have my left side done which helps a lot in the way that I can sit but on my right side. My pain is tolerable right now. I am still off work and will be for another 2 weeks. Any other questions please ask.

Have a great night,
Nichole
