Intense pain at incision site is common in first few week. Use supportive pillow under back when sleeping or sitting. Applying ice packs on surgical area for 15 min at a time.

Hi , i would suggest you get the wound checked by your operating surgeon. They will definitely guide you. Typically after surgery there is some operative site pain, but all surgeons will prescribe some medications for that. The pain becomes better in a couple of days and a sensation of tightness remains till the stitches are removed. If pain is too much , better to get the wound checked.

Postoperative pain is common and more so in open spine surgery , in case of persistent pain kindly ask your treating doctor for analgesics, with adequate analgesics care pt recovery will be smooth . Take care
