Gel Soft Flexible Ice Pack for Injuries Reusable - (Large: 11"x14.5") for Hip, Shoulder, Knee, Back - Comfy Cold Pack Compress for Swelling, Bruises, Surgery

Yes! It does hurt I’m not going to lie. Get this type of gel pack if you can manage https://a.co/d/0a4UrVTq . I have two and have been rotating and it helps a lot with swelling. I’m officially day four and today I have not been counting down til my next pill. I had a nerve block at first. Will you? If so take meds while the nerve block is still working. ASK FOR ONE too if it’s not in the plan. I’d ask for anxiety meds too the day of. Surgery took 2 hours. Make sure you’re eating plenty drinking plenty and elevating. I also texted my dr and asked for more meds because the pain wasn’t well controlled. Don’t be afraid to do that. I have one acct dedicated to recovery I’ll send you so you can see pics. You got this! We can do it!
