Usually: Postop pain is very common. If it gets severe, though, you need to see your surgeon.

Not uncommon: Is the pain improving? If so it may just be typical post-op pain. If not, there may be involvement of your nerve. Most of this pain will improve with time. Try ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory med. If not getting better in 4-6 weeks may need additional tx
