Fistuletomy pain

I had fistuletomy surgery with ILS on 10th July. Its been 3 weeks today. It was a minor surgery where a tunnel of 1.5cm was removed. I have stopped taking pain killers as the pain is now manageable, but there is mild pain and discomfort throughout the day, specially after defecation. Will this pain and discomfort last till the wound completely heals or is mine a exceptional case?

Needle like pain on abscess incision

Hi, I had a pilonidal sinus incision and drainage with phenol application treatment. It's been 1 month and everything have gotten better. But i feel needle like pain on incision. It's like a single needle poke on the incision not a radiating/throbbing pain. I wanted to know if this is normal or is it a recurrence. I don't have any swelling, redness or tenderness in that area even pressing that area isn't painful. Please help 🙏
