Please help me with the correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization on the following paragraph.
You will not notice any appreciable change in the pain level for about a week; however, you should be able to anticipate some relief during the second week that you are home. The pain will diminish slowly from that time forward. The more you try to do, however, the longer the pain will linger.
Excellent as is!

To correct the grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in the paragraph, follow the guidelines below:
"You will not notice any appreciable change in the pain level for about a week; however, you should be able to anticipate some relief during the second week that you are home. The pain will diminish slowly from that time forward. The more you try to do, however, the longer the pain will linger."
Explanation of corrections:
1. The sentence starts with a capital letter "You," which is correct.
2. "appreciable" is spelled correctly and in the right place.
3. A semicolon (;) is used to separate the two related but independent clauses.
4. The word "however" is correctly placed after the semicolon and is followed by a comma.
5. The word "the" should be capitalized in "The pain will diminish..."
6. The period (.) at the end of the paragraph is correctly placed.
After implementing these corrections, the paragraph should appear as follows:
"You will not notice any appreciable change in the pain level for about a week; however, you should be able to anticipate some relief during the second week that you are home. The pain will diminish slowly from that time forward. The more you try to do, however, the longer the pain will linger."
