The recovery process is slow and and improvements in my symptoms are still pending but supposedly that is normal. Nerves need time to regenerate...much longer than muscle tissue.
Trista, would you have the surgery again? I've been contemplating for several years. I haven't heard from anyone that is a more than a year postop and I hear the cysts reoccur and sometimes come back worse.
