Hello to everyone in the group. My name is John and I'm writing to find ladies and gentlemen in the group in hopes that someone can help me. I'm 8 weeks postoperative and I've been experiencing back pain in and around my upper back. Now I've spoke to the doctor and nurse about this and they say it's normal.
Now I don't know why but I wake up with the pain. But later on in the evening the pain will get worse. Now they gave me pain medication and I'll take one pill in order to get to sleep. So I'm asking the fine members of this group for your advice. I want to thank you for taking the time to read this post and for your advice.

Phyllis Petersen I had that too. Someone on here mentioned muscle relaxants and I found that they helped me a lot. Some nights I would take Vicodin, but some nights I would just take the muscle relaxant, and when I woke in the middle of the night, I'd take a couple of 8-hour Tylenol. Finding what works best for you isn't always easy, but is worth it.
