I'm two weeks post op and although I'm mostly healed (from the surgery at least) i still feel a little pain now and then...I've just been using a little Valium and the occasional ibuprofen--I've barely touched the percocet the surgeon prescribed (I've taken 3 out of the 50), but I know somebody else who is 3 weeks post op and is having lots of complications. I don't think there can truly be one answer that covers everybody. If it's truly bothersome I would contact my surgeon or at least my primary if I were you.
