I had my flanks done last Tuesday...9 days ago. The last 4 days (and nights argh!) have been excruciating. I have read that for some people, the pain just goes away on Day 10. The way I feel right now, I can't imagine ever feeling normal again. My question:what does it feel Ike just prior to you feeling better? Is it just horrible and then it really does subside? Or is it gradual? I'm exhausted from the pain and not sleeping despite the drugs ice etc.
