Get checked: If your surgery was in the last 4 weeks, stop reading this, turn off you computer, and get down to the er to be sure you don't have an infection. If your surgery was recent and you're not infected, a brief course of narcotics is reasonable to get you past the rough spot if your surgery is >4 weeks ago, you need physical therapy to stretch the scar and a non-narcotic analgesic prescribed.
