QuestionI had 1st fusion in 2002 (L4/5),did not work so 2nd fusion 2005 in more pain now than before. Taking morphine , amytriptolene, cyclizine. Pass couple of days have numbness around the L4/5 area and feels really sore to touch is also swollen.Morphine not taking pain away. Cannot get to see my Doctor till Monday. Is it anything to worry about , can it wait till monday???PLEASE HELP
AnswerIf you feel that you are in too much pain to wait until Monday, I suggest going to an Urgent Care Center or an Emergency Room. They will be able to determine what's going on better in person than anyone can do over the internet.
Thanks for your question, Angie. I hope that my answer was helpful.
