A member asked:

Is it normal to have intense pain 4 days after tympanoplasty-mastoidectomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but: It depends on what the surgeon had to do during the procedure (how much soft tissue work). It's best to let you surgeon know, but usually the pain gets better as the days go on.
