That includes 4 days down time for the surgery and rest, but after that the rehab was inpatient,5 days from 9-4 with a lunch break.Week-ends we could do things according to what the doctor orders were, but that was me, so if you can't or don't fit those categories, then why aren't you seeing a pain management doctor.The tens unit doesn't help everyone. Don't think that's your only option.Find one in your area(sometimes they're under anesthesiologists). Most of them do both, I know what you're going through so just hang in there with what you are doing. You're on the right track.If you stop exercising and walking you'll go backwards but you don't have to be in so much pain doing it.Don't settle for just what the doctor tells you.There are other options.<b>References : </b>myself Yeah,allot of us,first of all I'm wondering why your doctor didn't set you up with inpatient physical rehabilitation.After I broke T-4 and L-1 I was in rehab for 6 weeks.

I've been down for 4 weeks now and I'm starting to get depressed. I need some physical activity. I've been stretching, taking ibuprofen, seeing a physiotherapist, walking around the block, sitting in the hot hub and using a TENS unit. I just seem to be having and ? infinite ? loop. I rest, relax, and I start to feel better. non-movement seems to take the pain away. I can finally start moving again and so I do. Nothing vigorous, a walk around the block, or 5 minutes on a recumbent exercise bike. I like to play music, so I'll sit in a chair and play guitar for 30 minutes or so.. But then, the pain comes back - with vengeance. It knocks me down, I can't sit up, I have to lie down for the rest of the day typing on the stupid computer... oh what I wouldn't give for a nice pain free walk for an hour... I can't seem to find the balance between being inactive and overdoing it. I don't know if the pain is just normal and i should just deal with it, or if its telling me it's being aggravated and I'm really just adding to my recovery time. Oh, I'm sure there have been a LOT of people in the same boat as me, but this is my first time in this boat... so I was hoping maybe someone would show me around... maybe point me to the wheelhouse, throttle and steering wheel? I have to regain control 'cause I'm getting sick of myself.
