Yeah, I wish we all could be like Buttmachine and ride off into the sunset on our bikes.
Do you think you are better than you were before the surgery?
I am starting to believe that a lot of the pain is from an inflammation response that is out of control. Have you tried anti-inflams for it like Motrin or even Celebrex? I take Celebrex (prescription) and have noticed a decrease in pain since being on it.
