Post surgery care: If your surgery was recent, then okay to call your surgeon and get in for a post surgery evaluation. Occasionally a fluid collection or some surgical related problem will need to be addressed. Your surgeon knows your case the best. Okay to start there.

Call your surgeon: May be normal postoperative pain after an operation depending on the technique and how long ago it was. Best to call you surgeon to find out in your case.
