Hi Tomatogirl, Happy to hear you had your surgery. Hope your recovery continues and that you are pain free. When did you had the TC surgery? Did your insurance paid for it? I am asking because I am in the process of putting together the paperwork for a phone consultation with Dr. F. God Bless You!

I was told after surgery that Dr F likes the pool for exercise too following return to activity. However, that is a ways down the road for me - post op instructions include no immersion for a month following surgery, no twisting, and they recommend a slow and gradual return to activity as tolerated among other things.
