I had a spinal fusion at level L5-S-1 4 weeks ago . My legs ache all the time. It is worse at the end of the day and at bedtime. Just wondering if this is common.

Yes, my doctor put me on Reqip for this and it helped but, I couldn't afford it any longer. Silver State my carrier changed their habits and raised their copay to $74.00 so, it's back to the vicodin. A Hydrocordone, better than nothing and it really works better.
My back, after twelve surgeries is literally falling apart, 32 wires, twelve cadaver bones, 12 of my own hip bones, 32 screws, I only hoped they used washers. I have pain like you wouldn't believe, I wished we could get together and start a club, really. Compare notes. or something.
My feet are either burning, freezing, cramping. The sciatic sends it's little lightening shots down my butt into my leg.
