Oh no! I thought it would start working right away. God bless you, and give you strength to overcome the pain. I hope the swelling subsides quickly, so they can program the stimulator soon. Extra prayers for you this morning Dear.
Glad you got through the procedure. As hard as it is, try your best to relax and continue to ask Him for strength and relief. Continued prayers for you.
I still smile because that is my nature, but this pain is intense...and I’m sick to my stomach from the pain. I talked to the rep a little bit ago and they agreed to do some light programming tomorrow, but they are worried if they do too much, it could end up being uncomfortable when the surgical pain subsides.
I’ll keep you in my prayers for the rotator cuff. Prayers for relief from your pain. God bless you for keeping up your good nature. Hugs!
Have you ever considered using numbing cream that is often used for backaches? You could smear it on the painful spot and hopefully something good will come of it.
Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.
You keep smiling and coming back for support.
“The pain is so intense toniht that I am bawling my head off from the pain. I took my dilaudid, but nothing helps. Just laying down causes horrible pain. Sitting up, re-adjusting, nothing helps.”
Just went through the same as you.
All I can say is I hope things get much better (and I truly think they will) I FEEL YOUR PAIN and it took about 1 week to get to the point that I could be some what comfortable.
I could not lay on my back or my side....so whats left?
Healing is what it will take.
Today is the 13th and I still couldn’t run a sprint with a turtle but the misery from the surgery will subside!
I have an appointment tomorrow for possible stitches being removed.
It will get better but the surgery itself really sucks!
I am not able to use that right now as I can’t put anything that is moist on the incision. That was a good idea though, thank you for that suggestion!
Your welcome; how about around the incision, in the general area?
I’m praying for you, hang in there.
Prayers going up and cyber hugs going out to you!
Nerve endings may be raw just from the implant surgery...not to mention the longterm problems you’ve had prior to the procedure. I pray it won’t be much longer until you get the relief you need. Praying and repeating “Heal”.
Still thinking of you, too. Prayers for the healing of those nerve-endings and finally some relief from the stimulator. (HEAL) Please God, send healing to my friends.
Getting some minor programming on the unit today. They don’t want to do much because they are worried that if they do too much power, it will be uncomfortable when my surgical pain gets better. I just look forward to having a little bit of pain control. The medication isn’t working well at all.
Though the pain meds aren’t working well, I was able to adjust my position without the pain being so terrible I cried. It still hurt, but not like it was the night before last. It works better if someone will push me to get me past the point of “hanging”.
Thank you to all my friends for the prayers. God Bless you all!
Stay strong Trussell, we are all pulling for you! You are one of the very best freepers and I’m so sad you are suffering now.
I hope the pain meds will “kick in” and be more efficacious for you soon.
See, that is a good $12 word - efficacious, I just love that word.
Can you tell us a little bit about the unit? I’m curious how this thing works.

We praise Thee o Lord and we adore Thee.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
