Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It does sound like Gizmo is a bit uncomfortable. I’m not sure the extent of his wounds, but there may be some tingling associated with nerve damage or pain if the area was infected. You should not give Gizmo any human pain medication as it may be toxic, and keep a close eye on him for several hours. If the behavior continues, I recommend letting the vet who placed the stitches and bandage know, as additional wound management may be needed.
