Next Steps
please follow up with your operating surgeon to review your pain management and recovery.

Your post-surgery pain is creating a tiring cycle of anxiety and sleeplessness. Try keeping your spine straight with a pillow under or between your knees, and use slow, deep breathing to calm your mind. Since your pain is severe, please contact your surgeon to ensure you are healing properly

After a major spine surgery like L4-L5 disc operation, sleep disturbance is very common and can persist for months. The inability to stay in one position, crying, and excessive thinking are signs of both post-surgical pain and post-operative anxiety, which often go hand-in-hand after major surgeries. This is not unusual but does need to be addressed â both the physical discomfort and the mental stress component.
Next Steps
Contact the operating surgeon to review current pain levels and posture support during sleep â a specific sleeping position or pillow placement may help. Gentle counseling or relaxation techniques can significantly help with the overthinking. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
