I wasn't told anything regarding recovery. I started noticing improvement around the end of September. Have you seen your doctor yet? Has he taken out the stitches yet? I thought there was improvement after they were taken out. I wonder if something else is going on?

I can go days without any painkillers now. I had a bad day yesterday. I had spent about 12 hours on the computer on Wednesday. Then towards the end of Thursday, I was in pain. It seems that the paid is delayed. Yesterday was miserable until about time to go to bed.

I am grateful I am not on opioids anymore. My mind is clear and that means I can function and complain.

I think you should see your doctor. This may be just a pain that was covered up with painkillers or it could be something else. Don't be a martre. Bon Chance!
