Thank you so much. You had the trial first? You are awake I heard for the surgery? How long after the trial do they do the implant? These are all ?'s I am going to ask at my apt. The doc I had seen at Ucla who wanted to do it was so rushed so I hope this one at Cleveland will answer my ?'s. Are you limited after the surgery or do they like you to get moving? I have made progress on my own but still my pain is high so I feel conflicted. I am glad you have seen benefits. I am sorry there are issues though. This seems like a common problem with them. Another girl I know had it and has had similar issues. Good luck and thank you
