  • Hi Crouchy,

    Hopefully things have improved a little since your post here. If not, or if you have any concerns, give your doctor a call to see what they suggest. Particularly if you feel you don't have enough information to help you understand what to potentially expect.

    In the meantime, if others here have any similar experience then hopefully they'll see your post and send some replies.

    Wishing you all the best,
