Hi David,
Sorry you are having so much trouble with the post-op pain, it sure can be a big issue. It is one of those mysteries in that each of us react so differently to the same types of surgery. I know it is easy for me to say, but just try to hang in there and either your Dr.'s and PT will help find the problem and/or it will begin to fade on it's own. Wish I could help with something of more substance but am sending the positive thoughts your way.
Hope You and your family had a Merry Christmas !!
Peace
Jack
