Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to possible spinal cord damage or nerve damage. Another cause to consider would be benign essential tremor, not related to the surgery. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a brain MRI or CT scan (if any contraindications to MRI). It is also necessary checking thyroid hormone levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
