2 issues: Pain and ligament/nerve dysfunction. Call your surgeon to discuss those issues. Topical agents such as Voltaren Gel, icing, and lidocaine ointment can provide some relief, but if there is nerve entrapment, it will need to be relieved/released. Discuss with your surgeon surgical vs non-surgical treatments. Good luck
