"Fifty-five out of the 105 completed responses indicated the presence of prolonged post-operative pain (52%) (Table 1). Ten out of these 55 patients required medications for alleviation of their symptoms. Eleven out of the 28 patients (39.2%) who experienced mild back pain in the perioperative period developed persistent pain. In comparison, 23 out of 49 (46.9%) in the moderate perioperative back pain group and 20 out of 27 (74%) of the severe back pain group developed persistent pain.
Although persistent back pain intensity was rated as mild to moderate, it was sufficient to affect sleep or daily life in 28 and 36%, respectively, of those with persistent post-operative pain. A similar trend was seen when the pelvic component of the pain was examined in isolation. Almost half of this group reported prolonged pelvic pain of greater than 3 months in a duration that affected daily life in 25% and sleep in 14%."
IT WOULD SEEM THAT (nearly) EVERYONE GETS FUCKED OVER
