Does it hurt after surgery?

All surgery is associated with pain and discomfort. For this reason your doctor will probably give you a prescription for pain killers. Remember you can often get good pain relief with simple over-the-counter medicines like Tylenol. 

Do not take aspirin because this can increase the risks of bleeding. By the end of the first few days the pain is usually much less.
