My situation is a little odd, I guess you would say... My doctor performed my surgery on a Wednesday and the next day, he was gone! I didn't find out until I went back for my 1st post-op visit! Talk about a shock. I still do not know the real reason he left.. I've heard several stories. I live in KY- about 40 minutes or so from Louisville. A practice from Lexington now comes here, but they're only here on certain days-Tuesdays and Fridays. If this pain is still here tomorrow- and they way I feel now, it probably will be- I will call. I don't have any of the symptoms of a heart attack- no numbness or tingling- just the pain.
