I'm so thankful for his honesty. He told me up front what to expect after surgery and recovery time takes up to a year. He admitted I would have a lot of pain after surgery but will lessen with time and it has.

He came in for 2 min. asked how I was doing. I told him that I was still in a lot of pain. He asked if I was working with a pain specialist and I told him I was and he asked who it was and was it helping. I told him that no it wasn’t, not completely. He just told me that it was going to take a lot more time. That was it.
