Dr. Woo was the only doctor who would do this surgery for me, since it was done wrong, I have officially been labeled a "complex case." Dr. Woo has great reviews and really knows what he is doing.
Revision surgery was scheduled for November 17, 2010...They called me on October 27 and asked if I could come and do the surgery on November 3! That was a week away! I said sure, because I was in so much pain and needed the relief.
I was in the operating room for 2 HOURS! He was planning on keeping me overnight, since the ride home was so long, about three hours. But we decided that I was so loopy after surgery I would be in less pain to ride home that same night.
Since then, I have been really sore, my legs hurt and I can't sit on a wooden chair or anything hard.
I went back for my post-op yesterday, I told him about the pain I am experiencing in my legs and my butt..its a general pain, not pinpoint pain, he explained to me that my body is very sensitive and the simple procedure I had done, my body felt like it was open heart surgery or something major like that, and that my body has a very small threshold for pain.
He then diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia.
I am now taking Neurontin once a day for one week, and will build up to three times a day to see if that helps with my muscle pain.
My interstim got adjusted and I am feeling great, just tired from getting used to my new meds :)
