If you're only 3 months on from your injury then it could simply be post-op niggles.......maybe nerve damage which hasn't yet settled. Were you visited by a specialist nurse whilst in hospital or given a leaflet listing people to contact for advice after discharge ?

Are you due for a check-up appointment quite soon ? If not you could phone and ask to speak to your consultant's secretary to see if there is a sooner appointment available.
Alternatively your GP might have some ideas.
