Headed to the surgery center in 1/2 an hour. I’ll report when I can. I have ice packs and other things recommended by you all from this site. See you on the other side.

Good Luck Chieftom,

You'll be happy that you made the decision to get it done.

Been home for three hours. No issues so far. Surgery little to minor pain but the meds have not worn off. My main discomfort is the Foley catheter that I have to keep in until my wife ( an RN ) removes it tomorrow. As of now so far this has been less pain than I had with direct injections. BUT I am aware that this will change

ICE, ICE, ICE. I iced nearly nonstop for 42 hours before boarding a 6 hour flight home, then iced for a few days after getting home.

My wife is also an RN, nice to have someone nearby that has a vested interest in everything going well

I'm sure you know this, but stay ahead of the pain, don't be a hero and think you can tough it out. Catching back up to it is much harder than staying ahead. I just alternated Tylenol and Advil every 3 hours and had nothing more than a little discomfort here and there, never any pain.

That’s helpful I am going to document, best I can my total experience for others. That would have been helpful to me

How are you feeling now? I’m four days post op, rough recovery so far with serious swelling
