Hi, @chefguy23.
I am so sorry to hear of the pain you're in following surgery. I don't have any personal experience with the type of surgery you had but, while we wait for other Connect members with that experience to weigh in, let me ask you this: It looks like it's been 15 months post surgery. What do your doctors say you should expect at this point in your healing process? Did they indicate that the pain could return? Have you had any recent scans to see just how the healing process is coming along? Please let us know.
