I woke up from my surgery crying because I did not think it helped. The first month I could barely look at my husband because we spent SO much money on the surgery and I thought not only did it not help, but I might be worse.
After 3 full months the nerves started to calm and I feel sooooooo much better! I can't believe how much better. I have a hard time even trying to understand the amount of pain I was in. I couldn't even think about doing the dished with out taking pain meds. It's 5 months later now and I am doing very well. It's not perfect- but manageable, tolerable and I'm physically fit. Please let me know if you have any questions because if you are on the fence amout surgery, I now wish I had done mine sooner. Best to all |

Hi per834 -
Thanks so much for posting. Really appreciate your taking the time to give back to the forum. If I recall correctly, your surgeon was Justin Brown at UCSD, right? I flew down to consult with Dr Brown several months ago and also met with his physical therapist, Carter. I thought both were very impressive. Was wondering if I could ask you some more specific questions. I will send you a PM. Hope that you might have time to respond... thanks again - |
