Post hair transplant pain and tenderness after 2 weeks!

August 21, 2017
Asked By:mushtak2917 in Feltham, G1

I have come back from Turkey following a hair transplant (FUE) procedure. I had 3800 grafts. My donor area is very tender and I have excruciating pain in this area and cannot get any sleep at night even after 2 weeks of post surgery! I have read and seen many videos on Youtube and all the videos advise that there is hardly or no pain after surgery!!!... not in my case! I have tried ibuprofen and paracetamol and massage but unfortunately it has made absolutely no difference. please help.
