I just had similar. My CT scan at 6 weeks showed nothing. Surgeon told me today it is nerve pain and is sending me to a Pain Specialist. I have gone backwards- from active/ healthy, to barely able to walk.

Try to wait it out. I had similar problem. Surgeon said nerve pain after 2 diff CT scans showed nothing. Now, 10.5 months post op, I get very occasional stabbing pain and I cancelled a pain specialist because I am fit and active and did not want to get dependent on drugs for the rest of my life. Mine was really bad at 3-5 months, but got tolerable. New normal that no one told me about.
