How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Well I am PO day 7 and everything seems normal. I went back to work on Monday and made it about 5 hours, then had to go home. Tuesday I only lasted about 4.5 hours. Today, I am working from home. The pain has been minimal, and the drains are pulling less than 30 cc a day. I finished my antibiotic yesterday.
Here is my big complaint: I have this awful pain behind my left eye, through the back of my head on the left side. It goes down my neck, my ear feels clogged, and the left side of my throat feels swollen. I do not feel sick. This is just a horrible pain that is constantly nagging. It was the reason I left work twice. When I stand or sit-up straight for a long period of time I start to feel pounding in my head and become quite dizzy. Its just so weird. I had totally expected the physical pain of recovery from a major surgery. I did not, however, expect to feel this. It scares me. Of course, it makes me jump right to the worst case scenerio... do I have a blood clot? Knowing nothing on the subject, it pops into my head simply because they warn you so much about them while in the hospital.
I have called my surgeon twice now today and the number just keeps ringing forever. I haven't seen or spoken to my surgeon since I was discharged from the hospital on the 21st.
So tired of this pain. Three days now. I had stopped the pain meds last Saturday, but took one yesterday when I came home, and two more at bed time. They did not even touch this. So, I am just going to sit here on the couch today and work from home.

Well, I've arrived. I think so anyway, I haven't seen the proof yet! I'm rating my pain at a constant 2 or 3. It's unbelievable that its done! My pain is coming from the MR. I've been in and out all night, this hospital sure does want me pain free :) if anyone in this area is looking, the Cleveand Clinic, and Dr Lucas, have been beyond wonderful. Every single person I've interacted with has been so very nice.
I'll be heading home in the next 6 hours.... A little anxious for this hour long car ride! At this point- I should be able to endure anything that comes my way!!!

Cleveland Clinic is the best hospital in Northeastern Ohio, and they were referred to me by a friend of the family.
