Ice, rest, rx: Follow the instructions given to you closely. It is reasonable to have some soreness within the first week or two, however it should be improving. Take the pain medication provided as instructed. If you feel the pain suddenly get worse around day 3-4, you should contact your doctor. Either way, dint hesitate to follow up with your doctor the week after to get personalized advice.
