Dear patient
the reason for not relief after surgery may be failure of surgery to release carpel tunnel or may be due to nerve entrapment in hypertrophic scar.
Soreness at the incision site may be due to hypertrophic scar. Detailed clinical Examination is required to certain diagnosis. Repeat Nerve conduction velocity studies should be done to check for the level of compression. Your operating surgeon would be in better position to answer your query. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime.
