Dr. Zachariah George answered

Neurosurgery 15 years experience

Depends: What kind of surgery did you have? What test showed S1 nerve 'pinched'. What exactly is your pain distribution (bottom/side of foot, versus top of foot, versus whole foot) The nerve certainly can cause pain in the foot. A neurologist may be a good place to start.
