After going to a pain management specialist, they put me on extended release Tramadol (Ultram) for the day to day pain and overall, it's working alright. I do have an appointment with a surgeon in Seattle tomorrow who has perfomed quite a few surgery's and am hopeful.

The pain management has been very helpful in getting through these last few months but I don't want to live with this pain for the rest of my life.

If anyone out there has had this surgery, I would love to hear your story.

Thanks!
