Post op pain: most likely a normal part of the healing process. If not improved with over the countret advilor aleve- call the doctor who performed the surgery.

Let your dr check it: Although this may be normal post-op pain, the localized tenderness could indicate a possible reaction to the sutures or possibly a small infection. Your should have your doctor take a look.
