The surgery itself took about 1.5 hours leaving a 3-inch incision. I had light bruising around the incision, the scar is barely visible now. Heavy pain lasted for about 3 days even with pain medicines. I definitely needed help just to walk. It was still difficult for the next week, and it was 2 weeks before I was mobile. If work is physical, plan to be off 8 weeks. I still came home sore after that for a few weeks. It was 7 months before there was no real pain.

It​was suggested by a pharmacist a safe treatment. My skin started to blister. I rang the pharmacy and they told me to use warm water and a face towel to wipe it off. Quite a traumatic experience for something I thought was a benign product. That was about 25 years ago
