Hello and welcome.
The possible cause could be the impingement of a blood vessel. This should subside in a while, but if the pain becomes intolerable or lasts for more than 7-14 days, then I would advise you to revisit your surgeon and/or schedule an appointment with a vascular surgeon.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
