Hello,
Bone pain is rarely due to bone cancer. I think, it's due to your parathyroid, which is also removed, causing this bone pain. Because it affects bone mineralization. Blood investigations with radiological examination is needed and consult your family doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
