@kswilliams check your discharge summary. It should state what is normal and what do be concerned about. Have you had a post surgical follow up appointment yet? Write your questions and concerns down, then schedule an appointment with the surgeon or other provider. 12 weeks is a long time to be experiencing pain. You want to check for some unidentified complication.

Now four months post. Didn’t have left surgical site pain till a gush of fluid from the right side of nose when using restroom. Happened twice. Light nose blowing still causes left site pain, left side of nose and forehead and ear. Had what felt like infection few weeks post surgery with low grade fever and head pain. Noticed this was after ten days and started NSAIDs. Started antibiotic and fevers stopped. If I take an nsaid today I get severe bilateral temple pain but it helps the left surgical site pain.. Three month post mri looked good with serous fluid showing. Post surgical change noted. Can’t lift anything without hurting surgical site. Feels like size of a pencil eraser.
