I wonder if part of the reason you feel this way is that your pain was

so intermittent and indeed has pretty much disappeared the couple of

weeks before your operation. I'm sure once you're cleared to do some

stretching and serious ROM work, it'll come back like gangbusters.

My situation was quite different: I was heading downhill fast that

last couple of months, so even though I feel pretty weak and wimpy my

ROM is definitely better than it was that last month or two before

surgery. I can hardly wait until I'm cleared for PT. My chair is right

beside my stationary bike - you have no idea how hard it's been to

resist the temptation just to *try* it for a few minutes.

Hi

Just wondering. Do you have the " can butt " syndrome, too? I could

have sworn Dr. Gross sewed a Coke can into the incision area when he

closed me up!! I actually looked down at that area the first time I

sat in a firm chair. I would have bet money I'd see a huge bulge

there. But nothing! That went away quickly.

I don't know about but (no pun intended) I have two of them.
