any pain or any symptom after any surgical procedure should be mentioned to your surgeon or his/her staff. no, i would not consider that symptom to be 'normal', although i also dont personally consider that to be too alarming. still, your surgeon should be informed of your concerns of pain and questions about physical activity.
Hi I say call your doctor and find out they did the surgery and should know best. As for resting my opionion rest is the best thing for somone even as simple as having a cold rest can make you better quicker. This is your eye. If it were me I would rest.
Thanks for the input! I've left 2 messages with the doctor's office but haven't been able to reach the doctor yet (he's in pretty high demand). I'm guessing it's just taking my eye a while to recover, but I hope the pain doesn't indicate some kind of inflammation inside my eye. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon.
