Cheryl.....
Where was the pain in your leg??? Before my surgery....I had pain in my left leg...and it radiated down the back of my leg sometimes down to my calf. It felt like a tugging and pullin feeling. BUT since the surgery...that leg still occasionally twinges but I have some of my "toe"reflexes back! Unfortunately since the anesthesia wore off which was soon after.....that right leg and hip have been hurting terribly and on the 31st it will be 4 months now! They put me on Neurontin...and Darvocet. Both of which I quite because of the side effects. Darvocet made my heart race just a little too much for comfort and Neurontin just made me want to sleep all day and all night. With AS that is a NO no!!
The pain is different from my left leg. This leg feels real weak and sore and my right hip hurts along with it. When I stand up it feels like my muscles are being yanked .....my thigh hurts so bad. The Soma kicked in and I sneaked passed the ice by the hair of my chinny chin chin!!
Take care......
Toodles!
