My boyfriend had to have back surgery in the beginning of April (laminectomy, discectomy, reverse spinal fusion, removal of several rods and screws from previous surgeries). He has been in the most horrible pain ever since his surgery. It doesn’t seem to be getting any better. He says it feels like its getting worse but at his follow up appointment his doctor told him his pain is normal and that it will hurt until his swelling goes down. I have heard from some people that its normal but others have told me its not. Please pray that he begins to feel better soon. I’m very worried.
 
Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

I really feel sorry for your boyfriend. I suffer from chronic pain and often times it manifests in back pain. I have prayed for your boyfriend. I hope he gets feeling better as soon as possible.
 
Most Divine grant this person the necessary healing

Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen
 
I had terrible pain after back surgery (not as extensive as his) but it lasted for just over a week. I was told it was the swelling that caused the pain. The pain after surgery was much worse than the pain before!

Is he taking anti-inflammatory pain killers? Is the doctor giving him any kind of painkillers? Extreme pain for weeks is debilitating. And believe me, I know!

I would suggest going with him to his next appointment, if you can. If not, then another adult he trusts. People in pain don’t often communicate well, or understand what the doctor is saying. If the pain is still severe after 4 weeks, and the doctor is still saying it’s normal, it wouldn’t hurt to get a 2nd opinion.

I’ll pray for your boyfriend - & you.
 
He is on two different pain medications which are also making him sick to his stomach. He’s hardly able to walk or sleep in his bed or sleep at all for that matter. Sometimes he’ll have a good day or two where he feels better but then it will just get worse again. One nurse I spoke to said he might have pain for about 12 weeks and another one said he should get an MRI because it isn’t normal to hurt so much. He doesn’t want to go back to the doctor because he feels he isn’t going to hear anything different. Also this was his fourth surgery and I’ve heard each one takes longer to heal than the last. Thank you all for your prayers. I feel so powerless right now.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for him!
