i had no pain what so ever and i was very bruised and swelled, i stopped all pain killers after 4 days and never took any since, you are limited on movement for a few days but i would say thats only because your not used to not been able to move as usual, you will be totally back to yourself after a week! but its nothing dont worry! the worst thing is the side effects of the co-codamol they were making me feel ill xxx
