Here is what one of my dressings looked like after it was packed into the wound for 12 hours.

how much did it hurt after the surgery?

[PiloGuy82]

The most painful thing was the dressing changes. They were incredibly painful for about the first week. I was given some good pain meds though, and if I took them about 30-40 minutes before the dressing change, it made things a lot better.
