Hi.
Thanks for your query...
Yes, it is possible to have a mild pain for a few weeks as He must have been operated a bit later than mandatory 4 to 6 hours..OR he must have started activities sooner than advised.
The pain will settle slowly.

HE should take rest till the pain and swelling settles , which in normal patient is 3 weeks. Since it is 2 weeks gone, my advise would be to wait till the whole swelling and pain goes. This may be a few weeks more. No hurry in games and all. This is lifetime opportunity to get recovered completely. So give him a strict warning. This fear from you will help him to take rest and get well sooner and completely.
