Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Be seen: You would certainly want to be seen and carefully evaluated. It would not be normal for someone to have severe pain just because they had an osteochondroma removed, and so there must be something else. I would encourage you to be seen. An exam and appropriate studies can usually determine the cause.
