Swelling In Hands, Tingling, Numbness, Burning Pain. Had Undergone Surgery Weeks Back. Suggestions?

i had surgery 4 weeks ago and a pin was placed in my Ulnar collateral ligament left thumb. Ever since the surgery I have a cast, my hand feels swelling in and out, tingling, numbness and burning pain. i had the cast changed now more loose,but still have same feeling. the whole hand feels tingling and numbed almost as an electric shock. Doc says fracture is healing, but why do I feel worst? Marielle
