“One of my bones was shattered in my left hand and I needed surgery. Is pain normal afterwards?”
After having hand surgery last week, my hand still hurts. Is this normal? Should I go back to my surgeon?

It is important to always seek a medical evaluation by a licensed professional to ensure it is not the manifestation of something more serious. You also want to seek help sooner rather than later to prevent any further damage to the area.
Pain is normal for several weeks after surgery. Routine follow up should be fine.
