dascor nucleus replacement

[nurse4kids02]

well i went yesterday to dr. regan's office for my 6 month follow up from the dascor surgery. horrible experience...this is twice now i have driven 3 hours to see him, and had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room, and then get about 10 min with the doctors...and about 2 minutes with regan.
i really didn't get my questions answered.... i got the standard answer.."it just takes time"
so.....is there anyone else that has had this surgery, or knows of some websites with study information?
i still have pain in the right leg...mostly comes about when my back is really inflammed...its alwasy on the right side. the SI joint and pariformous muscle... i thougth after surgery that pain would go away....which it has some, but not totally. but overall, i am much better than i was before surgery... just wish i was out doing all the "normal" things again.
i guess since i am only 6 months out, "it does take time"... anyone have any ideas? or good stretches to do?
i am back to work (as a nurse) but only 8 hour shifts, i can't do my 12 hour shifts anymore...and no lifting over 30 pounds....
but i will say...those MBT shoes have made all the difference... i c an't wear any other shoe, and it really does take a lot of the pain away.
anyhow... just needed to vent a little... but curious if anyone has any more info about this....
thanks!!!!
