I have had chronic lower back pain due to a harvesting of bone from my left hip. This bone was used in the back of my neck for fusion. I have never had back surgery. The pain is nondescript and no one seems to understand how much pain I truly am in. The only relief is when I sleep!!! I take Percocet 10-325. It slightly takes the edge off but never stops the pain completely. HELPPPPPP This procedure was done April 2009 and I am at my wit s end.
Hithanks for writing to ChatDoctori am really sad after listening to your problem, which occurred(rare) following the benign/harmless procedure of bone harvesting. As far as percent it's a painkiller and does its job wonderfully. But, it can not be taken regularly because of its side effect. At which place do you have pain, does it occur at hip bone or lower spine? I suspect the cause of pain could be RSD.you need to visit pain clinic for pain due to ? RED, they might help you in getting over the pain. Take care and wish you good health.
