My second and third were actually leaps and bounds easier to recover from.

I've had 2. my second felt easier because I knew what to do to help cope with pain but it still sucks. pretty much feels the same you just know how to handle it better 2nd time around (:

Sorry to hear about the pain.. My first was just 3 years ago so I'm nervous about how long it might take to recover because I am a single mother to both of my children.

I just had my second one on Monday, honestly it sucks it hurts but I'm moving around and was up walking the same day. I wasn't with my first this fast so I guess it's easier my family is shocked at how easily and how much I'm moving around as early as I am. And I am in pain from some movements but not as bad as I expected at all! & My first was 9 years ago
