I have to respond to the previous post.

The back pain was probably NOT from the spinal. I had a hysterectomy and did not get adequate pain relief post operatively because my high dose of methadone counteracted the morphine drip they gave me. I did NOT have spinal anesthesia on this surgery, I was given general anesthesia.

My back hurt worse than anything else (and my husterectomy was abdominal.) It was excruciatingly painful---like being post-op with NO pain meds. In fact, I got better relief from Percocet than I did from morphine IV. Almost every woman in my family has had a hysterectomy and ALL of them said the back pain was horrible.

So, I would highly doubt the back pain was from the spinal. I had spinals several times and never experienced back pain. In addition, the drowsiness you experienced during surgery had to be something else (like they gave you nitrous oxide in a mask, or another sedative in your IV.) Spinals themselves do not cause sedation.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
