The post about pain being where the fixation is was interesting. I'm printing it out to give to my surgeon. I know from my op reports, the pain has always been where there was fixation. My WBC is always up when I'm in acute pain too. So I usually wind up on antibiotics for 'infection'. Now I'm wondering if it isn't just inflammation. The Dr. at the pain management clinic gave me a prescription for Daypro. I haven't gotten it filled, but I will now to see if that helps. Daypro has helped my neck pain in the past, so maybe it will help with this too.
