I agree about the massage and delegating tasks part. I worked till a month or so before surgery and went for 1hr weekly massages every week...they helped quite a bit...I was also on Neurontin (5x a day!) and it wasn't till after surgery I ended up on pain meds (that's another story)

I had family/bf help out with household chores and when something didn't get done I didn't sweat it. I adjusted my work routine best I could, fixed my workstation to be as ergonomically correct as possible (and it was still far from being 'right') and just listened to my body.

I also called the surgeons office weekly to let them know I was there and waiting...I ended up getting a last minute cancellation as they knew I was ready at a moments notice.

Hang in there...
