Surgeon follow up: Even with the great advances in medicine, there is still no such thing as a risk free surgery. Every surgery runs the risk of developing complications. Pain and burning may be normal in the immediate post operative period. Close follow up with his surgeon is encouraged to ensure these symptoms are normal and not the result of unwanted complications.
