Hello,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the surgery.
Pain is caused by the damage done to tissue by the incision, the procedure itself, the closing of the wound and any force that is applied during the procedure.
It usually go away itself in a few weeks.
I suggest to use painkillers such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Take care
