recovery from revision
I would say it really just depends on you and your tolerance for pain any surgery is going to hurt and it will take your body from what i have read about a good month to be feeling functional again. some people follow their doctors orders walk a ton and feel good after about two weeks so best thing to do is follow your plan and be strong good luck keep us updated!

How long do these headaches last?
to be honest it got better after day 3 for me but i failed myself today by eating 4 crackers and cheese pieces of a lunchable i was so dizzy and weak and everyone said it would be okay but i know if i can help one person make it through by saying trust me its not worth cheating then i will feel better stick to what your doing i made it 5 days without cheating and will make it the next 5 days before my surgery!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!! GOOD LUCK
