If it's not in an optimum position, that doesn't mean it's a problem. Many people have sub-optimum placement without having problems. (Sadly, some surgeons see this as an excuse to accept poor placement as 'good enough'.)

I don't know if you ever answered... is your pain the same as your pre-op pain, similar, or completely different?
