Just a guess, but you'll stop fearing pain when you've healed from it and you're not there yet. I don't think you've even had enough time to form a scab. And don't underestimate the recovery process from your surgery. Pain is pain. Compounded, it can be sheer torture.
Wishing you many blessings and all the best.
