It's 5 months later now and I am doing very well. It's not perfect- but manageable, tolerable and I'm physically fit.
Please let me know if you have any questions because if you are on the fence amout surgery, I now wish I had done mine sooner.
Best to all

Thanks for the update. It's great you're doing well! I'm one of those people on the fence about surgery. A while back you mentioned a burning sensation down one of your arms and I'm wondering if this has eased up or resolved. Based on your description of the burning, I have the same symptom. Also, does anyone know if burning indicates anything in particular (e.g. severity of nerve irritation or damage)?
