Mea culpa. I didn't realize you're only a week out of surgery; I thought it had been a year or more. My bad.
It may be normal. In the process of freeing entrapped nerves, they've been bruised—badly. They cut (wounded) you with sharp instruments, and messed around with stuff that isn't meant (by nature) to be moved, messed with, or cut. Healing on the inside takes much longer than the incision.
If he didn't give you a timeline, IMO he should have. Ask for one next time you interact, but try to be flexible/patient. Everyone is different and heals at different rates.
