Talk to your surgeon: Contact the surgeon that did your procedure and tell him what's going on and that it is affecting your performance. His/Her goal was to help you (hopefully) and he/her should continue to do so. You will be advised if this is still part of the recovery or if any other treatment is needed. If he is not helpful, you will have to take your records to another specialist for a second opinion.
