Not.

I wouldn't wish this kind of long term pain on anyone. I've been doing therapy 2 hours a day, 3 days a week, for a year now. Although it does help considerably, there are days I'm really glad I have a script for Vicodin to help keep me from screaming.

I pray your recovery goes well and the pain and stiffness fades. Just remember that the body doesn't remember pain, so as it fades so will your memory of it.
