Ah it's so soon after surgery you need to give yourself time to heal, don't get to worried right now but try and relax take it easy and keep comftable, nerve pain can take a long time to heal (up to 2 years to recover) hopefully it won't take that long as that is quiet extreme however possible.
Gabapentin is good for nerve pain so maybe talk to your doc and see if he can give you something short term to help you through the worst of it.
Sounds like your doing ok tho considering it's very early days, take care and hope you have a speedy recovery but a word of advice once your all better don't get complacent and over do it 😊

Also try using ice packs but check with your doc first and ask about b12 as this is good for nerve repair 😊
