I'd get checked...I had a different kind of discomfort (not pain) for a number of weeks and asked for an ultrasound to make sure it was OK. Everything was fine - it was only my expectations of when I'd feel back to normal that were off - it takes a while. However, I was discharged with 3 scripts for pain meds and written instructions from my OB about when to take what and how often (if I was still uncomfortable - not just to take because)...I didn't need much but it was good to have when I got very achy.
