Strange symptoms after surgery

I’m three weeks out of my laparoscopic appendectomy and am struggling with pinching pains throughout my body (now in my left testicle), cold feelings, and lightheadedness. Emergency room blood work shows negative. Don’t know what else to do.

I am 30 years old, 6’3 219lbs, male, and I take buspirone, naltrexone, lexapro, and hydroxyzine. I smoke, also.

About a week after my laparoscopic appendectomy, I started having lightheadedness, cold spots on my chest, legs, and also sporadic pains in these spots. They feel like pinching. They flare up and go away. Just today, I’ve been having these pains move to my left testicle. A few minutes ago, it flared up for a few minutes. Right now, no pain, but picks up randomly. Today and yesterday I didn’t experience much lightheadedness but I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes back.

Two different doctors say my bloodwork comes back negative, that it’s not an emergency. What else could it possibly be? I can’t seem to find anything online. Lastly, before the surgery, I would drink almost every night. I haven’t had a drink in three weeks. Maybe this could mean something?

I am not asking for medical advice.
