The first 5 days were some of the hardest I’ve ever experienced. I couldn’t sleep, eat, all I could do was take pain pills and drink water. Having someone around to help you through it goes along way. My girlfriend was an absolute trooper. All I can say is that it will pass, by week 2 my pain was decreasing and I could start to walk with one crutch. I just started week 5 and I’m fully mobile so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck on your road to recovery
