Will I have pain?
All patients will experience some level of pain after surgery. Many patients are off prescription pain medication five to seven days after surgery. After the initial pain from the surgery subsides, you should not have any chronic pain as a result of the implant. You may have some soreness, but that will begin to improve in the weeks and months following surgery. Call your physician if you have any increased pain, swelling, fever or abnormal incision drainage.
