Is severe eye pain normal 11 days after PRK?

Haley M
I had prk surgery 11 days ago. It was okay until day 9, two days after the contact removal, my right started to really hurt and I could barley open it. I work 12 hour shifts and commute a total of 2 hours for my job. Now on day 11 my right eye is much worse, it is in constant pain, and watering extremely. The prescription eye drops burn on it now, where they didn't before. I am returning to the office I had the surgery tomorrow is there something I can do to help now, any idea why it happened?
