Kelly,

The same thing happened to me. My doc said it just needed tweaking so on the third day after surgery they fixed it. It really was not that bad. Nothing had healed so the pain was about what you would expect from an invasive procedure, (nothing compared to my revisions later). I had built up a tolerance to the narcotics I was taking so my doc switched meds and upped them and that helped a lot. I also slept in a recliner with lots of pillows to prop me in more comfortable positions.

I don' know if it is standard procedure to do this right away or to wait, but I was working at the time and was on spring break so I had to get back to work.

My trial was supposed to be for eight days but it stopped working on day six so they took it out. My doctor thought that was enough to call it a success.

I did develop an infection but my wife spotted the signs so we jumped on it right away and it was no big deal. I only needed a few extra days off from work.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
