Mine took two weeks for the bad pain to go, then I could go off pain relief, but it still hurt for a couple of weeks. It sucks, hope it's better soon for you OP!

ETA Jols reminded me, I did have issues with mine healing, I had a granuloma that required attention for the first three months. I'm so glad I had it dealt with, because it was quite unpleasant while it was there, but once it was dealt with effectively, things felt MUCH better down there! So if it's sore for a very long time, or just doesn't feel right, then get thee to get it checked!
