Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you feel, there could be some discomfort, in the 2nd and 3rd days after surgery.
If it continues after 3 or 4 days also, you can alarm your doctor. Any how, it is better to inform your doctor, regarding the pain, to prevent the complications.
The possibilities of complications may be the adhesion, of the surrounding tissues. infection, or adjustment of the surrounding tissues.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
