Thanks Carmen,

The doc's said it would fade away gradualy. Just wondering what gradualy means. I let them know that I can get through the two early meals of the day with no pain, but dinner, my largest and longest meal, is tougher. I get pain near the end and have to slow down. Sometimes I do dinner in two phases.
