Hi! Karen:

I am so sorry that you are still suffering from numb & pain 2 years after the surgery! Surely you've had follow-up appointments with the surgeon and other doctors since. Did they give you any suggestions or reasonable explanations? If not yet, please see your PCP and request to be seen by an OT occupational therapist PT, for they really help me resolve all my aches & pains from the surgery. Two years is much too long for anybody to suffer through!

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hopefully you'll resolve these painful issues soon through professional help.

Wishing everybody on this journey a smooth & safe sailing forward!

Yes, I can relate to that. Mine was three years ago but the good thing is we are still here. Wishing you the best!
