    Sorry to hear that. I can’t remember whether it was constant as it was over a year ago. There is no point diagnosing yourself on the internet if you’re in that much pain (I know that I did, so a bit hypocritical for me to give that advice). I would see if you can get a doctors appointment. Good luck.

    No problem. B6 and B12 is what I took mate. Take that for 4 weeks and u should notice significant improvement.

    Please see my previous post for tablets I took - mixture of b vitamins. I’m now over a year post op and have no pain. I’d say it got a lot better after a month and by 3 months it was completely gone. Give it a few weeks, try not to stress. I think it’s rare which is why people don’t talk about it more regularly. Try the b vitamins. Cheers

    Cheers mate. Back to being as bald as a baby’s ass unfortunately, the grafts have all shed as I’m 5 weeks tomorrow. All part of the process though so counting down the days until I see the first growth. How about you?

    Quick update. I’m now 4 weeks post op, and other than the odd stabbing pain (probably couple of times this week at most) my nerve pain has completely resolved. No idea why it took so long but I took vitamin b6 and b12 which seemed to help. I’ve still got pimples in the donor area which are slightly painful but nothing as severe as the nerve pain, and the pimples should heal eventually. Hopefully everyone else experiencing donor pain post op takes some comfort from this, as even when it lasts longer than most, the pain should eventually resolve given time.

    Mine is down to a 4/5 out of 10 tonight. 3 weeks post op tomorrow, second fue procedure so perhaps due to number of grafts in total. Didn’t have any pain on the first. I’ve got a follow up call with my surgeon tomorrow as I’ve got quite a few pimples/ ingrown hairs, wonder if they could be irritating an already sensitive area and causing the pain to last longer than it usually would. I definitely feel that at this stage it’s manageable though which is good.

    The pain is still there but definitely feel a slight improvement over the last few days. Probably down to about a 4 out of 10 pain during the day and a 6 or 7 at evening/ night. How about you pal?

    My pain is still here and still intense at 14 days post op. Hopefully it will improve over the next week. Didn’t have this issue with my first HT but most say it resolves around the 2 week mark so hopefully I’ll see improvements soon.

    Feels like it’s improving mate, I’d say the pain was down to about a 5 out of 10 most of the times now. How’s yours?
  11. Billy0716
    Thanks mate. I’ll give it until the end of next week. Unfortunately it’s not a case of asking for a subscription and you’ll get it here in England, and it’s difficult to get an appointment especially since covid, but if this pain doesn’t subside then I’ll have to try.
  12. Billy0716
    Yeah I got vit b6 and b12, or you can just get b complex probably do a similar thing. Will do mate.
  13. Billy0716
    Hopefully he receives an email notification and can reply. Worth a try.
  14. Billy0716
    Nice. Where are you based? I’m reluctant to try and get a prescription from the nhs here in the uk as usually have to wait at least a week for an appointment, hoping it’s resolved by then. I’ve been taking vitamin b as read on here that it helps with nerve repair. Let us know how you get on.

    Did did the pain clear up? I’m day 9 and have intense pain in the donor area that feels like stinging/ burning. Any advice to speed up recovery? Thanks
  16. Billy0716
    London, hopefully you are still active in this community? I’m 9 days post op (early days I know). This is my second FUE and didn’t have any extraordinary pain with the first. I found this post a few days ago and immediately went and bought some b vitamins as I’m having intense burning/stinging pains all over my donor area. Are the B vitamins still working, and how long did it take for them to take affect?
  17. Billy0716
    I’m having intense donor area pain 9 days post op (been happening since day 4). Had 1800 grafts FUE, my second procedure and had no pain when I had my first procedure of 2000 grafts. Doing research on here and other sites I believe this is related to nerve endings being cut, most say it should pass in a few weeks but read a couple of cases that last for years. Hopefully mine will pass soon as it’s agony!

    @JayLDDyou’re perhaps right that Dr Muresanu May have turned me away For not being a good candidate. I don’t think we are saying different things in this regard. The OP asked whether I would recommend getting a HT at a young age, and for me it probably wasn’t the best option, that’s not to say it isn’t right for everyone, but he asked personal opinion based on individual circumstance. The surgeon I went to originally is one that I did a lot of research on via this forum and who is well regarded in the industry, so I don’t expect that a result at that age to the hairline would have given me a future proof result, irrespective of the surgeon, as I only had a receding hairline without any thinning to the crown. Instead, they probably would have recommended that I waited until I was 30+ to better assess the situation and see how it develops without my willingness to take propecia. I’m not sure on whether your comment about wazza is a dig or a compliment, but given that he paid £20k for his procedure and I’m a united fan I’ll take it as a compliment!

    @transplantedphilDr Muresanu estimates he can get c.1000 grafts more from my donor without further over harvesting. Other doctors have said over video conference that they can get 2000+ more but I decided to proceed with Hattingen on the basis that naturalness is my primary goal, and of course that I have met with him and been examined in person. I was surprised that the area had been over harvested at such a small graft count but I wear my hair buzzed short on the sides and don’t have any scars so it could have been worse! I’ll Setup a post on Hattingen progress over the coming months.

    I had one at 25. 2000 grafts FUE to the hairline. I’d tell you not to do it, but if you’re anything like me then you’ll probably ignore the advice. I’ve now completely lost hair in the crown area and have to wear fibers behind my hairline (32 now) See photo below ghat illustrates Further hair loss behind the implanted hair line. I’m currently in the process of Consulting with Dr Muresanu at Hattingen hair who has examined me in person and advised that my donor area has been over harvested during my first procedure. The plan now is to remove some of the grafts in the hairline to make it more natural and place these more centrally to blend back into the bald crown. I will then buzz my hair down in a final attempt to look natural (albeit bald but with some framing of the face). Failing this I’ve seen great results at Men’s ink SMP, which I had never really considered before but I believe this may be my only option and the results on their pages look great at least. I’d say try buzzing your hair first. If you don’t like it jump on minoxidil for a few years (I never did Until now it’s too late) and then consider your options in a few more years. I would definitely recommend Hattingen if you’re looking for naturalness. My experience with them has been completely honest so far and they will be honest with your expectations.

    This looks incredible. Do you have an update on how it is currently looking? Cheers, Bill
