Hi,
Nature of pain mostly suggest neuropathic pain. There is a chance of nerve compression due to any pathology. detailed clinical examination needed. During operation some sort of nerve injury is also possible causing similar symptopms. Her blood sugar testing to be done. If problem will persist MRI scan will be ideal investigation. Consult your oncologist. Take care.
