Is Pain in Donor Area Normal After FUE?

Is This Degree of Sensitivity and Sharp Pain in Donor Area Normal After FUE?

I had fue hair transplant four days ago, since yesterday, I’ve been experiencing extremely sharp pain whenever the back of my head makes contact with anything, even something as soft as a pillow or the headrest of a chair. Donor area feels very tender and hypersensitive, almost like a nerve-pinching or electric shock sensation, and pain tends to linger for several minutes after the contact stops. There’s no visible bleeding or discharge, but the area feels tight, slightly swollen, and very sore to the touch. I’ve been trying to follow all the aftercare instructions carefully, sleeping upright at about a 45 degree angle, using a travel neck pillow to avoid direct pressure, and taking medications, but last night was especially difficult because even minor shifts in position triggered that sharp discomfort. I expected some soreness, but this level of pain feels more intense than I anticipated. Is this degree of sensitivity and sharp pain in the donor area normal at this stage of recovery?

Recently, a hair transplant patient contacted Diamond Hair Clinic via WhatsApp seeking advice about severe pain in his donor area following surgery. A few days earlier, he had undergone an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure at another clinic in Turkey, not at our clinic. He was unhappy with the quality of the surgery and concerned that no doctor was present during the procedure. As a result, he had many doubts about both the operation and the potential results. Unfortunately, by choosing a hair mill clinic for such an important procedure, he did not make the best decision, nevertheless, we provided him with information and guidance regarding his condition.
