How long did you guys feel pain and aches for after surgery?

#1 Post by King6james2 »

I am on day 37 post op for double jaw surgery. Some days i still feel aches and pain on my cheeks and under my ears like a bruise feeling. Is this normal? Im wondering how long it took you guys to fully recover and feeling no aches and pain.

I felt them off and on for 3-4 months. It gradually gets better. You might not notice things from day to day or even week to week; but looking back month to month you will see improvement. Even 10 months after surgery, I'll have a day things are sore for no real reason but are better he next day.

You should talk with your surgeon about that.
