Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Hello everyone, Well I am finally able to come on after the surgery. I didn't have a triple. He fused 2 joints and repositioned my heel bone. It was still very painful. Does anyone have any experience with Pain blocks? They numbed my leg right after the surgery and it was supposed to be numb for 18-36 hours. Mine lasted 12 and all they sent me home with was Vicodin. I take Neurontin and Methadone on a daily basis for pain relief so what the heck will just Vicodin do? I was weaned off the Methadone around a month ago to prepare for ths surgery and now just got the Vicodin. The last fusion I had I was in the hospital for 3 days on the morphine pump. I am wondering if the pain block doesn't last in CMTers because of the nerve involvement already. Anyways, finally today the pain is tolerable. When I have the right foot done, I will ask to be admit it and forget the pain block. Jen Quote
