Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems that you have suffered a nerve injury during the surgery that you underwent. A arm will be helpful in identifying the exact site and extent of injury you have suffered.
Consulting a neurologist will be helpful. You will need prescription drugs like gabapentin and methylcobalamin supplements for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
