I got the spinal block and they placed it too high up and it paralyzed my diaphragm and I had to be intubated. I have had back pain every since. It is horrible! I take 2 and 1/2 tylenol every 4 hours and 800mg of Mortrin every 6 hours. But it's just not doing it any more. The heating pads help but not much... Any suggestions?

Hi, I think I know something about back pain. I had 2 laminectomies and a bi-level spinal fusion done about 12 years ago. I've had residual pain ever since. It did help overall since I could hardly walk before the surgery. Try to get an consultation with a neurosurgen or orthopedi surgen and go thru the protocols, like over the counter drugs like your doing all the way up to discussion about the possibility of surgery. Remember, everybody is different. Your pain is your pain and you need to find out the cause of YOUR pain. Good luck Hope you get well. cb
