An update with you regarding my journey with my [condition/injury], as I know you've been going through a similar struggle trying to avoid surgery.

If I understand correctly, you’re still working hard to get well without surgery, and it seems like you haven’t found the success you were hoping for yet. I can totally relate, as I’ve been on a similar path.

I’ve been doing physical therapy for the past three months, even though my doctor initially wanted to jump straight into surgery. I’ve been working really hard with my training, but unfortunately, the pain is still there, especially when I sleep. I wake up feeling really sore and in pain every morning, and it’s been difficult to manage.
Given that I haven’t had the relief I was hoping for, I’m now seriously considering surgery. From what I understand, it has a good success rate, which is why I’ve been thinking it might be the right option for me. That said, I wanted to ask anyone with experience with post-surgery pain and recovery. If you’ve or anyone had any insights or tips about what to expect or how to manage after the procedure, I would really appreciate hearing about it.
