Hi. Today is my 10th day after my hair trnsplant surgery of 4000 grafts. The donation area is still hurting (and itching) and I have been using pain killer (ibuprofen) constantly to overcome the pain. Is this normal? How long should the pain last? I also need to mention that the shots I had in the donation area during the surgery were extremely painful, I don't know if this has anything to do with the pain I am having now. The donation area seems to be fine. Please see the attached picture. Thank you.
