I pray that you do not have an infection. I am not panicked or anything, but maybe a bit worried, as my pain level has been consistant since my surgery too. After reading the posts, and the articles I had no idea either that this kind of possiblity of infection could happen. I hope you go see your surgeon to rule this out. Your pain has been severe all along. So sorry that you have that to deal with that. Your faith keeps you strong. ginnie
