Hi,
Sorry to hear of your pain. There is no problem is using heat or cold compressions after 2 months of surgery.
You can use it for the pain. You can also use some painkiller like ibuprofen 2 tablets.
However if the pain is not controlled or if you have any weakness you should see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
