Hi,
It might not be rare to experience such a pain in case the surgery has not been for over months. Recent surgery can be associated with post surgical pain. However, it becomes problematic if the intensifies or stays for a long time after surgery. I think you need to exercise more patience before seeing your primary care doctor or surgeon. Kind regards
