Brief Answer:
I wil recommend that you get the surgery reviewed!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain and all the disturbing thoughts that this has caused you. After undergoing such a surgery, no one really wants to deal with the same disturbing symptoms the prompted the surgery in the first place.

My immediate advice is that you should get this back examined and probably followed up with an imaging study to make sure that the surgical arsenal is still in place just like it was mounted. If it is in place, then pain medications and some physical therapy would help address this. If any other thing different from the expected is identified, then managed would be tailored accordingly.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
