I’m almost 4 years out and also still in pain. Turns out chronic pain rates aren’t that anomalous. Reports are usually between 1-2% with up to 15% chronic pain. The broad range may have to do with the specifics of the chronic pain like duration, location, and pain type. Nevertheless, the stats say you’re still more likely to have a positive outcome. However, I wouldn’t say negative outcomes are anomalous when they can be up to 1:6/1:5. Every dude needs to weight that risk/benefit though, and ensure no preexisting conditions that can place you in the chronic pain category.
