Hard: To know without the opportunity to examine you but i suspect they feel you have some nerve related pain that they may be able to help you with.

Ask your doctor: You would of course have to ask your doctor perhaps he or she feels that your pain complaint is not one that cannot be easily remedied and may require long term chronic treatment which your surgeon apparently does not feel up to handling.
