I'm still having the effects of it and it's been 6 months. It improved some but after about 4 months it seems like it's permanent. My doctor had a "family emergency" the day after I had it and I have not heard from him since. The nurse said to give it 3 months (give or take a day or 2, she said) when I called with unbearable pain shortly after the procedure. I have not called back and it's been 6 months. I don't trust anything they would tell me. Regrets??? Oh, yeah!
