Hi, gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Not to worry much, its quite normal in the process of healing. It takes at least 6 weeks for the pain get reduced. In between, if pain is unbearable take pain relievers. Mild extension exercises wold help you better.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to me. I will be happy to help you. Thank you.
