I had a FUE session 7 days back. Since the 3rd day, I have been having a lot of pain in the donor area. Its a burning pain although well healed and looks normal from the outside, is sensitive to touch and a bit numb too. Is this normal? How much time would it take? can't handle the pain even with ibuprofen? Can this be a nerve damage of some type? Is that a possibility? I would appreciate any info/help on this. I was told there is almost a zero chance of nerve damage in FUE.

Answer: If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "pain" you should contact your doctor.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. If your doctor said "it shouldn't be a problem", you should believe your doctor.
