YR if your dad is still in pain he should tell his doctors and they can increase his pain medication to help with this. It is what is called rebound pain. Because he has been anaethetised and then given pain medication as it starts to wear off the pain receptors in the body go 'Wow what happened here?' It's a bit like when someone tries to give up smoking and they get the cravings for nicotine. The good news is that the doctors should be able to 'fine tune' your dad's pain medication to help relieve the discomfort and then gradually withdraw it again once he starts to heal and the inflammation goes down.
