Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since the pain is persistent even after the surgery, it is best to get a muscle relaxant prescribed from your orthopedician. You can also do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area for pain relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
