If you are having pain it is best to contact your doctor.  It is not normal to have extreme pain.  Some people may experience differently or have a very low tolerance to pain.

It is normal to have pain 10 - 14 days post op after a strip (FUT) procedure. Remember, they have cut a large area of scalp out of the back of your head. This takes time to heal.

I see that I am responding to this at 2 months so I suspect that the pain has gone away by this time, if not go back to your doctor
