Default Back-To-Work-Struggles
I am 9 weeks post op and started work this week - part time only.

My non-surgery said is flaring up bad - I wonder if I just forgot how bad it was as it has been able to rest a lot being off for surgery. The surgery side is a little more sore now having been to work but not as bad as my non-surgery side. I am trying my best to go as easy as I can.

LIFE IS HARD.

Please be careful, I would hate for you to have gone back to work too soon and the pain to come back after all you have been through.

Sorry to hear about this Heybro. I've been through what u r going through. TOS is a hard syndrome to fix, and sometimes u might have to stop certain jobs that might cause your symptoms to return. When u are not working and recovering, the symptoms doesn't show. I hope u are able to get some relief, but u might want to think about doing something different.

Yep that pretty much sums it up
Life is hard but we are harder? that Really sounds wrong but you get the idea?
I totally get how it's rough to keep going some days and would also say try as best you can to make sure no demand from life gets in the way of your best shot for a good recovery! Hang in there--You have come so far and are doing great.

Hang in there. I am now 2 years post op and have been much improved. I started taking a product that helps with inflammation. I was thinking of posting info about it, but I am now selling for the company and don't want to use this site for sales, because that's not what this site is for.
