I am scheduled for torus paltinus removal in a couple weeks. I am so nervous, concerned with the recovery and what I've read. I am a RN, so not ignorant to medicine, but have no experience with this. I also have RA, Paosteo, DGD, spinal stenosis and am only 44. I already deal with enough pain, not looking forward to more pain. Any calming advice? Thanks, Vickie Agha
