about 6 yrs ago. i was lucky, it went well even tho this was a slow deterioration and i recovered very, very well. only took me a couple mos, but i think most ppl are recovered in 6 most.
yours might go even better, as it was a quick thing, and the muscles should be in good shape.

and here's a tip about pain meds most docs wont tell you- a combo works better than any 1 drug.
ibuprofen, aspirin and tylenol are very powerful combo, but any 2 of them, if like me, you cant take 1, will have a multiplier effect.
