Normal. : This is fairly normal after that kind of procedure. It should improve within a week or two. If it gets worse, you should let your surgeon know.

Common: Will take upto 3 months to fully heal from your surgery. If pain gets much worse then call your surgeon's office to see what may need to be done.
