Not really: While it could just be some muscle discomfort if you were on the or table for a while, typically i would say no. You should let your surgeon know so that he might be able to check on you. Seek immediate attention for fever >101 and rapid heart rate.

Yes: This may be from positioning at surgery but should go away.

Pain: This extent of pain is uncommon and probably a reflection of a lot of dissection being involved.
