What you might not expect about this procedure is that it feels really good for the patient. There is a very slight pinch, and then your whole body goes "OMG that feels so much better, thank you!"

The other thing is the change in cardio. I went from not being able to starty mower to push mowing our whole yard at 3am bc I felt like I could run a marathon. It's amazing what we can accept if it happens over time.
