What can I do to minimize pain in recipient and donor areas 1 year post op?

Asked By:TommyPZ in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom

I had a hair transplant in November 2022 - 3400 grafts via FUE. I am still getting pain in both donor and recipient area. Pain in the donor area is a sharp stabbing - like someone with a needle. Pain in the recipient area is like someone pushing hard with their fingers on my head. I've contacted the surgeon several times, so far the options have been: We'll monitor it. It may get better in time. Change shampoo. Antibiotics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
