Talk to your doctor. You should request more meds if still in pain, I had a lap at the beginning of Oct and I still take pain meds daily and am not fully functional yet... ie naps, rest and moderate walking for exercise. I had a few other immune system issues and post opt complications but healing times really vary. I used to be very active and athletic. Take care, and get the rest you need. Definitely talk with your doctor and perhaps ask about neurontin which is a nerve interfer med. At Sun, 23 Nov 2003, Minell wrote: >
