Hello,
It could be due to musculoskeletal pain after the procedure.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
