Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; c/mutualaid feels like it would draw attention away from people with more urgent issues, and c/mentalhealth is very inactive and rarely anyone ever sees it.

The worst thing about the surgery, (obviously besides the initial shot that hopefully won't go into your balls,) is the healing process. Just take the pain meds especially if they help with inflammation. But I found on the third day it was night and day improvement, and like I said, my surgery was pretty involved.
