No after nasty after effects from the anaesthetic and although they gave me codeine I've not needed it as I've just take a few paracetamol for the aches and pains.
Still sore and stiff today but probably not as bad as I imagined.
Just need to take it easy for a few weeks now - no jogging for at least 6 weeks which will be hard for me

I must say the staff at the QE Hospital Gateshead were absolutely fabulous. So kind and caring - thank God for the NHS - they've had a hard time over the past 18 months or so.
