Chronic pain: Even after successful surgical cure, over 3% of people develop chronic pain. This has multiple causes, and you have to fight it with all you have. Hydrocodone will actually increase nerve sensitivity to pain in the long run. Better is to develop 10-15 strategies to fight pain when it tries to take over your life. Include positive words, thoughts, feelings, visualizations, beliefs and peppermint.

Need to be rexamined: if you still have pain and discomfort you need to have it re examined There may be another problem which needs to be addressed Sometimes an injection or more physical therapy can help but go and be seen again
