Is it normal to feel pain after PRP scalp injections?

Pura
I got PRP scalp injections yesterday for the first time. My scalp is soar and it feels uncomfortable. Is it normal to feel pain this long? When I flex my scalp it hurts. How long does this usually last? I took Advil before bed, it helped a little bit but not much. My dr's office is closed today, so I can't call to tell them. Thanks!
