    Ok, today I didn't bend. Not all day. I made a point to move everything to a place where I didn't need to bend, mostly at waist height. I also only walked a very short distance and I truly felt the difference; hardly any discomfort! I do realise this is my unique experience but it shows me that I must do less than the list advised, in order to have comfort.

    I'm now more aware and feel less frustrated as I'm aware of my limits. Maybe try this?

    A day without pain has been blissful. I'm 3 weeks post op.

      Good for you Patsy!  I have learned not to bend as well...for anything!  I was pain free for a few days and then bango, pain back and it feels like an open wound but there is nothing there, so back on the Advil regularly again.  Do others find that the pain comes and goes as well?
