After three children, and increasing discomfort, I decided to pursue this procedure. My surgery was yesterday- I'll provide updates as my recovery progresses. The procedure itself was painless. Swelling and pain so far is manageable.

Things are much better today. I slept well last night after only taking Tylenol. I’m still very swollen and I am restricting my movement, but discomfort is minimal at this point!

I still have significant swelling, but I am able to get around fine and have resumed daily activities with the exception of exercise. The worst side effect currently is the itching! It kept me awake last night.
