C Surgeon.: Patients who have had surgery and experience increased discomfort/pain should communicate with their surgeon. Sometimes, pain can be a symptom associated with a complication that is occurring. Best wishes.

Call surgeon: Traditionally speaking pain should diminish with resolution of the i flammatory period that occurs within the first 4 days of surgery, thereafte pain should subside. Normal pain may occur with resolution of nerve swelling and numbness. However, you should call your surgeon to discuss your specific symptoms as well as possibly be seen for exami action to exclude possible complications.
