Thanks guys - i havent been in pain since i tore, so i think its been about 2 and a half weeks. that was generally what happened pre op though. pain for 1 week, no pain for 2-3 weeks, so the real test will be if i continue to stay pain free.
after feeling very down the day of my follow up, i woke up the next day in a better frame of mind. i am disapointed at how i was treated, but i still have some faith that i may heal with out any more surgery.
so i am just going to hold tight and hope for a good surgeon for my next appointment. if i am still tearing by then, i wont hesitate to have further treatment.
sue - were you told to stop using rectogesic? i have been using it every day since i tore and i am going to carry on using it until my appointment.
just curious as to why things would be better after stopping using it, i thought it helps relax the muscle?
