I am about 5 months 1 week post op. I noticed a great change this past week. Even though I have pain, this is the first week that I feel better than I felt before surgery! Picture recovery being a graph. Before surgery, the waiting and in great pain stage, was at ground zero. Then surgery makes the graph line drop straight down. The first three weeks or so is a flat line at the bottom and then begins a slow climb back up. After three months, the line begins to ascend rapidly. This past week, I actually felt Above ground zero! Which is why I had the surgery in the first place because even a small relief would be worth it. I suspect the line might dip below ground zero a little here and there as I increase activity. But I am so happy to reach this point of hope.
If your post op recovery was a graph, what month did you feel better than before surgery?
