Hello,
It is due to minor nerve inflammation after the surgery.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Generally, it will settle by itself.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Wishing all the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
