So, I'm thinking that it's inflammation from the surgery and that we need to give the inflammation time to go away. You could try an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory and see if that helps. I can't as I have to take so many to get results that it gives me horrible heartburn.

By the way, I'll be 52 in November.
Thanks Fiona .....yes I do take an anti-inflammatory too. But you know you could well be right. Its still quite sensitive to touch and if I lean back against it too. My husband said it does look a bit bruised still. Im hoping thats all it is and it will pass for us both very soon.
Sure we are only young ones you know Although at times I feel 90
