Based on the history you have shared, it needs to be reviewed by neurosurgeon and repeat scan to see whether electrodes are misplaced or not inserted at right trigger points. May need manipulation however option of nerve block by anesthetist or pain medication specialist should be done. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
