Yes...you should talk with your doctor about all of your lingering symptoms. Any pain you have after a severe injury can be normal, but it is important to keep good communication with your doctor(s): if your doctor does not hear from you, s/he assumes you are fine or asymptomatic (no symptoms).

Please know there are ways to manage pain. Pain relievers may be addictive, and they may not be. There are people who use pain relievers past the point of needing them, and they become addicted. Other people can successfully use pain relievers who NEED them and do not become addicted. It is important to keep your doctor "in the know" of your concerns; if you are not taking prescribed medicines (including pain relievers) due to fears, please discuss these with your doctor.
