Hello,

While surgery few nerve endings might have damaged may cause neuropathy. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once a day for five days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
