So i'm planning to get around 500 FUE grafts to thicken up my goatee. Now i have what looks like a couple hundred hairs on the lower neck and sides of neck. Could these be used as part of the 500 grafts ? They grow in odd directions and cause me to get ingrown hairs so maybe i can kill 2 birds with 1 stone ? Also i would like to avoid minimal grafts coming from the back of my head since i shave it with a razor. Thanks.

FUE is just a harvesting method. It does not relate to results. If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE. If you search this website you may notice people complaining about patchy donor area and depletion after 3000 to 5000 graft surgery.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. Not every surgery is the same. If you are having issues, contact your doctor.
Foot or leg pain and hair transplant surgery is not likely related unless you have a blood clot from sitting for a long period. Blood clots can be a life threatening condition so contact your doctor ASAP.
