It is pretty normal to worry about everything at this stage of the process. There are many reasons why you may have more pain. Have you been doing too much?

You can expect some pain and changes in how things feel for a few weeks at least. As long as there is no sign of infection (redness, temperature, feeling unwell) then it is probably 'normal'. Any sign of infection then you need to contact your doctor. Hope it settles for you. Take care. Deanne xxx
