FUE Hair Transplant, pain started in the donor area after 4 days post op. (photos)

noira26
Hi, i have done FUE hair transplant with 3300 grafts. I am currently on the 4th post op day and just today i started to have a lot of pain in the donor area. It seems like the pain is coming just below the crown area on the back and the pain level from 0-10 i would rate it 7. Today in the morning it wasnt that bad, i took a painkiller and helped, but in the evening it started to get worse. Is this random and normal? Thanks a lot
