A tear requiring 5 anchors qualifies as big and glad it went well!!
Not sure why your block is wearing off already. Could be explained by any of about 3 or 4 things. Did they place it under ultrasound guidance? Hopefully you tolerate pain well...pain tolerance varies
remarkably.

Hopefully I can work at home, but boss said if I'm still on pain meds she does not want me trading (I'm a portfolio manager / trader for a mutual fund co). Good news is I might be able to spend more time out of the sling quicker than i first thought.
