Back Feels Pretty Good, Slowly Healing

My back feels pretty good, except for a hernia that developed beside my scar. I will have to have a surgery for that hernia, and I think my back will be okay after that. I have tramadol if I need it for pain, but if I lie down for a few minutes, it usually helps. I have a pill for nighttime if I have trouble sleeping, which I sometimes do, because I worry about another surgery and being trouble to my family. I was in terrible pain before my back surgery, and it has been long and hard, but I feel it will be successful when it is fully healed. 03/28/2014
