@freedom4bella Welcome to Connect. If your pain is severe, it might be best to ask your care team, and to make sure they are managing it well. Surgery does cause inflammation, so it is common to have pain get worse after surgery for awhile. My experience was the first 2 days were not bad, but then pain got worse for another 3 weeks. After that it slowly got better and by 6 weeks it was minimal. That is how long it takes the incision to heal. I worried too, and right on schedule at 6 weeks suddenly, I improved dramatically overnight and felt really good. By 3 months, I could forget I had had surgery because I wasn't reminded of it.
