Asked By:Alexis2222 in North Carolina, NC

Hi I recently had a septoplasty/nasal valve collapse surgery done on Monday July 18th. It is now Thursday July 21st and I am in the worst pain yet. I was wondering if anyone could give me an outlook as to how long I will be feeling this way. The splints are causing a lot of discomfort. It was also done as an open rhinoplasty so the incisions are painful as well. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I am surprised it has been as painful as it has been for me. Thank you
