Question About Incision Pain

[luauna 10]

I am 15 days post op today. And I feel great except for my big incision is still very swollen and has a big knot and it hurts like Hell about 50% of the time. Dr. Told me Friday its normal and will last about another 2 weeks or so. So my question for u all is, was this normal for most and is there anything I can do to ease the pain/soreness- I'm taking my lortab at night in order to sleep comfortably? Thanks, any comments would be appreciated.

I am 1 week out and feel no pain from sleeving, but the pain from my gallbladder removal is terrible! It's the only thing that hurts.
