Lisa, is that your surgery side? Is it a continuous pain, or does it come and go? Is there a time of day that seems worse? Is there an increase in the pain or stiffness after an activity where you are putting more stress on that side? Does heat or cold help with the stiffness and/or pain?

Think about all the ways you could describe the situation and then call the surgeon and let them know.
I hope they can help you find the answer and a means of relief. Gentle hugs!

This is what is so hard to figure out, what is the cause of our pain for one, is it the AI we are on or is it cancer mets and I have been having what feels to be rib pain all week but then maybe its deep muscular pain. So how do we know? How can you figure out if its nerve or bone pain?
