Likely unrelated: Mist common long term complication of anesthesia is generalized weakness. I suspect your problem to be unrelated this later after a procedure.

I would see : A neurolgist. Probably unrelated to procedure but anything lasting that long should be checked out. Anesthesia effects should be long gone.

Unprofessional : Your physician, unfortunately, without examining you tried to put a blame on anesthesia, which has nothing to do with your shakes. There is a possibility of infection, or reaction to hematoma, which developed after surgery. Insist on office visit, your condition needs to be reevaluated.

Not from anesthesia: Six weeks after surgery, the anesthesia cannot be implicated in this symptom. Evaluation for another cause is necessary.

Not anesthesia: After six weeks this is not due to anesthesia. Talk to surgeon again and see if the medications that they prescribed to you could be causing this effect.
