You can use Tylenol if the pain is mild. Also apply Bacitracin 2x a day in the donor area ONLY. This will help with the healing. The pain will be gone in a few days!

it may happen sometimes and pain on the donor site starts on 1 st week through 10 days .. simple pain killer usage may stop that pain . it will disappear any way in a couple of days . do not put donor site on pillow , sleep in sitting position .
