its a nasty ass scar... but... the recoop time wasnt too bad... i think total i missed a month of work...
the goal of it is to release the pressure so your CRF doesnt start to harden...
after that happens nerve damae is pretty severe... and it wont reverse past a certain point..
so... yeah.. make sure you keep an eye out for stuff... like maybe something that feels like carpal tunnel... or tingling or burning or joint pain... or weird nerve happenings...
numbness... etc...
that way they could take care of you b4 it proresses to the syringomyelia stage...
again... thank you...
