Kyphoplasty complications...

    Hi Everyone,
    My mom has recently had to have 3 Different surgeries and row for kyphoplasty which is repairing cracks in the vertebrae. She has a history of TMs symptoms and is having an extremely difficult time recovering. This procedure was supposed to help her pain immensely but she is still in tons of pain-so much so that she is having to take dalaudid which is even stronger than morphine. She is having bad side effects from this drug but is allergic to other pain meds. Anyone have experience with this? Could some of the pain she’s having be tms? If so, I think it would be under extreme muscle spasms. I’m really worried for her and hate seeing her in all this pain.

    Thanks,
    Lynn
