Hi,
Probably it will be a musculoskeletal pain associated with the procedure. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
