If I recall correctly, the pain subsides after about 10 to 12.....

beer....

each night...

for about a couple weeks.

Glad to hear you have finally got it over with though Grant. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon. Give it a couple weeks though, and if still painful, go back to your Doc.

Edit.. obviously a smiley is required in this post afterall... No, alcohol isn't good, especially when you are most likely taking anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen.

Most of the pain will subside as the swelling goes down. Heck the first day after my surgery, my knee was the size of a small basketball. Scared the crap out of a girl at physio who was getting her knee done the next day.
