Doctor's answer:

You have just finished surgery, and it's normal to still feel some pain afterward. As the anesthetic effect gradually wears off, the pain may return. However, as your body fully recovers, the pain will eventually subside.
It is recommended that you rest in bed for the next two weeks, pay attention to staying warm, and avoid overexertion. Maintain a regular daily routine, ensure good warmth and insulation, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water. This will help ensure that your condition does not worsen.
