Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, it seems to be caused due to some nerve impingement in the surgical procedure or by surrounding structures. It's better to get an orthopedic surgeon review or by a neurosurgeon and if needed MRI may be needed. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used along with muscle relaxants like Tizaindine and potent analgesics like Gabapentin can be helpful.

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

Regards,
