Brief Answer:
How bad is your ache?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am so sorry to hear about this ache that you had. It is so unfortunate that nothing was found on exploration. I will like to know how severe this ache is compared to when you had not done the surgery. Beside anxiety medications, are you on any pain drugs? Can you also report the exact anxiety medication you are on at this time?

Hope to hear from you before weighing in completely!
