62 year old female had back surgery 8 weeks ago. I believe stenosis was the major issue. One leg is now impaired (little feeling and movement). Doing PT, two times weekly with exercises to do at home. On several medications...Lyrica, Oxycodone, a muscle relaxer, anti-depressant, and not sure what else. Patient is perpetually loopy and seems kinda out of it, but not in any pain. Worried about the amount of drugs and the length of time she has taken them, and doesn't seem like enough PT. Your thoughts?
Thanks.
