Does the pain go away don? Sometimes i wish i never did this

I had surgery on 2/27/13 with Dr Streeter. All the people there are great. I am from Dartmouth/Wareham. I'm also on Facebook at immastarr452@aol.com if you want to add me.

It definitely gets better. The first week is the hardest, but you should notice a little improvement each day.
