Pam/Re: Trivita nerve repair - to

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but being that I am 40 and

just had a Lefort 3-piece on June 28th, I thought I would throw a few

words in.

Yes, that tingling you are having is surely a good sign. At times I

still have these little sharp needle pains which my OS says is good

signs as the nerves start recovering. I find that if I just massage

the spot where the needle pains are, it helps. The little pains I

have only last a few seconds and come and go. You will notice as the

swelling goes down you will feel more tingles during this time.

Hang in there because it will surely get better. At about 5 weeks

postop I was nearly 95% better. I returned back to work at 4 weeks

postop which was a little tough at first but each day surely got

better. Keep a positive attitude and if you have a bad day just

remember that tomorrow is another day and will get better. With you

being over 12 days postop, you should start seeing steady

improvements each day.

Hang in there, you are still early in your recovery!

Best of Luck,
