@hgarm It can be disheartening when those in the healthcare profession invalidate you. Do you have a therapist? Surprised the doctors have not asked this so presuming you do. It does take time to bounce back from a surgery and everyone responds differently to trauma placed on the body. It could be that there is nothing more they can do. Are you taking care of yourself by eating healthy and doing some moving to keep your blood moving, drinking plenty of water? Sounds trivial but it is important.
