If I remember right your brother had a surgery similar to mine. I had very little pain after my surgery and none that came "later" on. My biggest source of pain was from the leg where they harvested the bone to rebuild my jaw. Please keep the doctors aware that he is experiencing new pain.
So glad he is coming home, that in itself will give him a boost. I cried when I came home, it was so emotionally overwhelming for me!
