remember this
initially you may feel symptoms subside right after surgery because they have released that nerve...then there is some swelling and inflamtion that takes place afterwards because your body is trying to produce cox 2 to assist with the bone growth around the adr implant. also it takes nerves very slowly to heal 1.0 mm per day. hope this give you some encouragement. adr has a high sucess rate give it longer than two weeks
