Talk to your surgeon: This is difficult to interpret without knowing the circumstances behind your surgical case. It isn't uncommon that it could take more than six months to recover. You may just be someone who sits towards to the slower end of recovery times. Please seek input from your surgeon as he/she will be able to best assess your situation.
