I had corporal tunnel surgery on both hands and elbows. As of yesterday, I have constant pain in my left wrist. It’s is different than before surgery. It’s from my middle finger and pinky finger into my wrist up to my elbow.

Probably the nerve coming back to life. Give it a week to get better and if it doesn’t talk to your surgeon
I would touch base with the surgeon who did your carpal tunnel and elbow surgery. I think they are best qualified to sort this out. There are other nerve compression is one can get. The other inflammatory conditions of tendons that can cause similar symptoms.
You need to see a physician to check it out. Physical examination is needed.
