Pain is subjective; during surgery you will be under general anesthesia and after surgery most pain should be controlled with non-narcotic pain medication.
You can expect to feel pain after surgery but in my patients I utilize all available pain treatment options in combination to keep the pain controlled and allow patients to continue their non-strenuous daily activities during their recovery. Every case and patient is unique so consultation with your surgeon can give you more specific answers to your individual recovery expectations.
