I had similar surgery 10 weeks ago, but the team used a nerve block to the graft arm, which lasted about 4 days, and after that the morphine took care of the pain. I think he needs to urgently contact his medical team, no way should he be in pain at this stage of his treatment. Tell him not to worry about complaining about pain, if he doesn't tell them they can't help..
