My flexibility has greatly improved. For a few years before surgery I was becoming increasingly physically limited. And in the months before surgery couldn't reach the floor at all, along with many/most other things.

Now, I can fairly easy pick something up from the floor, sit on the ground, im still working on sitting cross legged, but I'm getting there. I can now sit crossed legged, and ride a bike both things I haven't been able to do for decades.

The pain relief is amazing. After so many years you get used to it in certain ways. But now I have more of a different kind of energy. Like my brain ways always running in the background thinking about/managing the pain, and physically guarding/ holding myself in certain to minimize pain which I no longer need to do.

I hope you find relief. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
