It was painful yes, but I remembered how painful the detox was years ago and decided the
pain from the
surgery wasnt as bad as
pain accompanied with all the other stuff that comes with detox. (Sleepless night, bathroom issues, depression, anxiety, restless leg, nausea, etc...etc)
Good luck with the surgery...remember, just cus the doc prescribes it doesn't mean you have to take it for that duration.
