Possibly: Depending on the treatment/surgery that was done, there may be scarring and or bony overgrowth at the site of repair, which can become inflammed and/or tender at times. Conservative care with NSAIDs, ice/heat, or topical analgesics may help. See a physician if the symptoms are persistent or worsening.
