So the pain I am experiencing almost 4 months now is normal,with the exception of It really hurting the past couple of weeks

If this is "new and different" pain, then you may want to call the doctor. If you just over did it a bit at some activity, see if it resolves with a bit of pampering. I was still sore 6 months into it checker, and certain movements, or positions hurt. I had to sleep on an incline pillow for about 8 months. I could not turn in bed etc. You know you body better than anyone. If it doesn't feel right, and it is a real concern, call you doc. Everybody heals differently at different rates. Let me know how you are OK? Of course I care about you, and hope this gets better without anymore intervention. Did you have PT? ginnie
