After a whole year of back pain, different levels of cocodamol, amitryptaline, Naproxen Tramadol Diazepam, you name it I’ve had it, I have had emergency spinal surgery which has cured my back pain. I have finally stopped all my tablets bar Naproxen. Cocodamol and Amitryptaline were the last to go and I feel like absolute shit. It’s been a week of night wakings, flu like symptoms, exhaustion, depression. Feeling freezing cold when the weather has been lovely. I can’t concentrate on anything for long.
Please tell me that it’s going to get better. I’m so angry that the doctors have left me in this mess. I have been pushing for a scan for months and months and it took a trip to a&e when I was immediately sent for spinal surgery. I have heard nothing from the surgery, no plan on how to come off the tablets. I ache all over.
Can anyone help me get through this.
