I'm glad thaat your early reports looked promising, but it sounds like you are really doing too much now and paying a price for it ! What's your doctor say ?

I know that you must have a million things to do with moving and an upcoming wedding (congrads !), but I hate to think of you messing up the surgery area with scar tissue.....especially because your music is so important to you !

Take it easy !

I've been trying not to do too much, but the pain is pretty constant, again. I e-mailed my doc tonite - haven't talked to him since the surgery. Four weeks out, now...

Hopefully a little more rest and these issues will resolve, I'm sure talking with the doctor should resolve some questions. Are your current pain levels very similar to your pre-operative levels and are the locations also very similarand finally have your other symptons numbness, tingling etc returned as well? If so I would certainly get the doctors opinion as I am sure you will. Hoping this is just normal post-operative discomfort and the road ahead will show steady and rapid improvement.GOOD LUCK !!!

Yes to all your questions, except that I think the numbness and tingling are less, at least most of the time. Sometimes they get bad, tho. I'll try to be patient!
