Brief Answer:
Can be due to nerve root irritation.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pain that you are having now is likely to be due to a nerve root irritation or compression in the lumbar region. Even after the surgery the gradual degenerative changes in the spine keep on progressing. The medicines like pregabalin and gabapentin with methylcobalamin supplements can help in recovery. Do consult your neurologist for proper prescriptions.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
