question about recovery from back surgery?
suggestion to recover from back surgery faster?
i had back surgery to remove a herniated disk then was put on bed rest for 6 weeks after the surgery. now my back is super tight and painful. i just started going to rehab therapy and i am a very cooperative patient and want to get better.
i am tired of the pain, the muscle cramping is almost as painful as the nerve damage sustained from the injury before the surgery.
do you think it would be benificial to add massage therapy even though my insurance company won’t pay for it. will it help me get better faster?
Yes with the permission of your doctor, heck he might even write a script for your rehab to do it after your regular program. When I had surgery on my leg and started rehab I would get muscle cramps after a session, my doctor wrote orders to not only use the hot pack to relax the muscles before so I could do the exercises he wrote that I should have heat after and massage to prevent the muscles from spasming. The therapist said it really made the difference because I wasn’t so sore one the days between and was able to do more exercises and speedup the total recovery.
