Strong pain in donor area 7 days post op FUE

January 17, 2017
Asked By:GreatFUE4 in Budapest, HU

Hello, Im post op 7 days FUE (2000 grafts) now and with very strong pain in the donor area. It feels like a sting/needle like pain and makes me really hard to concentrate/read/sleep. I am taking 600mg ibuprofen but it doesnt help at all. Moreover some parts of my donor area (back left upper side of the head is completely numb). This pain started 4 days Post op and doesnt go away. Is this something normal that occurs after FUE? Why does it happen? When will the pain go away? Any suggestions?
