Symptoms, causes, and how Clearway specialists diagnose and treat postsurgical nerve pain.
Overview
What is Postsurgical Nerve Pain?
Some patients develop persistent nerve pain after surgery, even when the operation itself went well. This is a recognized condition with dedicated treatments - not something to simply live with.
Common symptoms
Persistent burning or stabbing pain near a surgical area
Numbness or hypersensitivity around the scar
Pain that did not resolve as the incision healed
Pain limiting movement or daily activity
What causes it
Nerve injury or stretching during surgery
Scar tissue compressing nerves
Central nervous system sensitization
