If you feel like they are not listening to you then maybe you need to get a second opinion. Call his office and ask the nurse if he can recommend someone for a second opinion. One of two things will happen. He will begin to listen or he will refer you. Either way you win.
I hope your feeling better soon:)

Hi,
  I am very sorry your having this pain. It sounds like you need to go back and see your Doctor again so he/she can order the needed test to see what is going on.
It may be nerve problems due to the surgery and if that is the case they will have to do some test to find out the severity of the damage and order treatment.
I hope you are pain free son and feeling better! Please let us know how your doing:)
