Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression following the surgery. As a first line management you can take analgesics like aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief:
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In that case, an MRI scan will be beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
