Hi Lisa
Thank you for your comment. I have started walking and it has helped with the pain. Pretty amazing that as soon as I dedicated myself to walking 3 or 4 times per day (around 1/4 mile each outing), my pain became less severe.

I was given hydrocodone right after my surgery ... a limited amount and dr. said to take it while the pain extreme b/c getting mOVING was the key thing to do post op and it was going to hurt.......I am not a fan of any sort of opiods but I took them, WALKED iand within 2 weeks I had graduated down to Advil. Routine was still the same, walk, walk, MOVE, MOVE but the advil helped with my pain and I was moving along at an almost clip.
