9 Weeks ago, I had Liposuction done on my thighs, hips and buttocks. I experienced little pain and the discomfort subsided fairly quickly within the first few weeks.However for the last few weeks, I've been stuck at a desk for most of the day and am not able to do as much sport as I usually do.

Is it a bad sign that pain is returning?
