Congratulations Andrea!!! I can't speak to the pain, but I know this... you should hurt less tomorrow than you do today!

What did they send you home with for pain management??

Andrea - we're all going to be different when it comes to pain medication. Just make sure you take the stuff when you need it. Don't be a hero.

I noticed that I was feeling less pain on about the fourth day. It took a few more days to be able to lay comfortably in the bed, but even still, 2 and half weeks later, I get an occasional pain when I roll over in bed. Just take the pain medicine the way it was prescribed and by the time the medicine is gone, the pain will be too.

Good luck!

-Mike
