Re: TO: difibank....Anyone out there 6 months or more post op?

Hi,

How long postop were you when you began the electrotherapy? Just

wondering because I have somespots on my right side that are very

numb (I am only 5 weeks post op). I get sooo upset when I hear Dr's

brushing off some concerns of patients (mine has many many times) Its

like they do so many cases they generalize what you are supposed to

feel during recovery. But I've learned from this group that recovery

is so individualized. I had a horrible time the night after surgery

and the first week. I felt repromanded when I went to my two week

check up and was not as peppy as other patients. I'm starting to

have a hard time while pondering how I feel about this whole process.
