  • Hi,

    i would say the fear in my head was far worse than the procedure. I had a DMX with reconstruction.

    They give you exercises to complete which really helped, I can't say I was Pain afterwards just uncomfortable due to the drains. I bought 2 drain bags from drain dollies so I could still go out. 
     
    I was driving again 4 weeks afterwards xxxxxx
