I had my ctr four weeks ago

I'm experiencing tingling numbness and worst of all an aggressive electrical pain

I'm almost resting my hand though i exercise it at home

I went to my surgeon again and gave me B vitamin for this and see if the things work out otherwise he'll reoperate my hand

Is reoperating successful in such cases or not ???

      That doesn't sound good but your GP or surgeon, who can actually see it, is in the best position to make a judgement. Have they prescribed antibiotics? Are you running a temperature?
