Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

Your symptoms correlate to injury to the nerve fibres locally in the operative site. .... causing the pain and hypersensitivity.
This is obviously not normal.

I want you to start on XXXX and XXXX tablets to suppress the nerve sensitivity.
Short course steroid therapy will enhance the healing process. Take all these medicines under strict supervision of your orthopedician .

I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
