At about the 3-month mark. Pain receded markedly around Week 4, and was able to ween off all medication at that point. I've been running for more than 6 weeks... just got up to the 4-mile mark recently. Have been doing pushups, bench press, chest fly machine,some ab workouts with little to no issue. My only remaining thing I want to do is swing a golf club again, but I am giving that a few more months to be safe. I can definitely feel a difference when I run or even climb a flight of stairs. Aside from the cosmesis that people often cite, my renewed physical condition has provided added psychological benefit that nothing is holding me back physically.
I had a relatively straightforward case and realize that everyone is different, but I know going with Dr. J ensured the best possible outcome. I am very glad I made the phone call I made this past January. Only regret is that I didn't get this done earlier in life.
