Do I have nerve damage 1 week after FUE?

April 16, 2017
Asked By:ahmedjawad in Multan

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.
