I just went through a rhinoplasty surgery...I was in some pain after the surgery. After 4 days things were looking up and then I went back in to get the packing out of my nose. My doc pulled on the packing and it was stuck with dried up blood on the stuff he leaves in the nose for two weeks...He tugged and tugged and finally got the packing out, however I'm in more pain then when I went in. It is a sharp pin like needle feeling.
Is this normal.. It hurts pretty bad...I'm on pain killers to releave the pain. How soon can I expect the pain to go a way?

Hi there,
Recovery from rhinoplasty will vary from person to person because it is pretty serious procedure. In most cases you should be able to return to normal daily activities after 3-4 days. But many doctors will suggest you to take a whole week for recovery process. Your recovery lasts to long. Two weeks is a lot of time and you should be all healed up by now. There is always a chance that you have damaged something else during the procedure. If this is the case your doctor should check if everything is in order. Your bleeding should’ve stopped by now. What pain medication are you using right now?
I hope this helped a bit.
