Is there anyone that has had this surgery that can offer advice on pain management, recovery, sleeping after surgery, anything that you wish you knew before your surgery? It's always helpful to hear from someone who has already "been there & done that". Would appreciate hearing how long it took for recovery and did you feel relief from the pinched nerves right away? (I have pinched nerves in my hands and neck which is excrutiating).

Is there anything you wish you knew before surgery that you know now?

Thank you!
Hi Cath1, posted already but wanted to say I am from Ontario, had my surgery in Windsor, where in Canada are you, if you don't mind me asking. Bunz
