Appreciate your help, I'm in pain.
Thanks!
Had procedure done on January 26th. Just had my eight week follow-up with surgeon (Dr. Joseph Locker at The Orthopedic Institute ) I'm a complete "GO", including golf, tennis, bike riding etc. As he said, you still need to let your body do the talking.
Wonderful team in his office as well as at West Marion Community Hospital. Go For It.
