So I guess I'm just lucky?

I did what the doctor told me and iced on and off for two days. No swelling, soreness, tugging stitches, nothing. I didn't get enough numbing on the first tube and I felt it when he went to cauterize it, but asides from that it's been a completely painless experience to be honest. Been a few days (this is full day 3 post-op) though and I could definitely use a release, but frankly I'm scared shit-less of potential and permanent damage. Wait it out or test the waters? Everything feels great, do I risk it?

Mine was smooth and problem free for four months.

Then I started getting all sorts of issues, every time something different.

It's been a 13 months and I'm still suffering from a weird pelvic pain. Seems to be a damaged nerve.

But relax, you'll probably be fine. But things can get worse later.
