Did they cut the muscle or do it the "new improved" way.
It's supposed to be a lot quicker healing.

I had the same and they cut through the muscle to do it.
Recently someone came up with a way to do it without the cutting.
Is your scar on the side or the back?
How's it feeling today?

(My scar is on the side and it's feeling easier today, did some extra walking up and down the corridors and the steps again. The hardest thing is learning to sleep on my back for 6 weeks as I'm a side sleeper. I've got a good lot of drugs to take home, including Gabapentin which is for nerve pain and is also good for sleep. Did you have this drug and any other suggestions re sleep? I'm sleeping in the other room too.)

I found sleeping on my back hard too as i'm also a side sleeper.
I also had to have a pillow under my feet to elevate my legs.
It made my heels feel like they were on fire.
No pain meds to take home just some blood thinners I had to self inject for about 6 weeks.
I didn't do stairs until day 4 when I had to go up and down 4 to be allowed to go home.

(Specialist didn't say about elevating my feet at night, but I have to have 2 siesta's during the day, morn and arvo, where I have to elevate them.
I have a blood thinner, anti-inflammatories=(celecoxib), gabapentin for nerve pain and paracetamol.
Did steps on day 2 and 3 (think I've got the hang of it)

Sounds like you could open a chemist shop.
Are you still in hospital?
