Recovery can be a frustrating time when you dont make progress as quickly as you feel you should. Everything will get better, it just takes a heck of a long time for some patients. Still focus on your intake with doing the daily minimums, that will help you heal. If you are feeling any worse or if in a month you still feel like this see your doc and ask about getting a full blood panel done including thyroid and testosterone.
Best wishes with your continued recovery!
