See below : I’m sorry to hear that, it could be a number of things however you should talk with your surgeon about them, we can’t diagnose anything of the sort of we don’t have te full picture of things, please talk about the pain with your doctor, I’m sure he/she will give it a fast solution but you have to comunícate things for that to happen.
