HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor There are different possibilities for the pain.(1)During the procedure, nerves in the area would have been damaged or severed. Abnormal structure or function of nerves can result in pain.(2)the pain may also be coming from other structures such as the muscles in the await would be best to visit the doctor to try and determine the cause of the pain. I hope this helps
