I don't have permission to share the story, but feel I can share enough to answer your question without getting permission. I am aware of one of Dr Clavel's patients that had a double M6-C a year or so after I did. It took her 10 months get back to feeling as well as she did BEFORE surgery. Today she's doing fine and is able to do anything she wants; but that particular recovery was long and difficult. I'm familiar with a male patient of Clavel's with a similar story; that is, doing fine today, but the recovery to long and difficult.
I've observed that women tend to be more likely than mane to have a difficult recovery.
