Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This much intense pain indicates possible neurologic compression after fusion surgery.
Though you can get primary relief with heating pad application, analgesic tablets, and local analgesic spray; in our clinic, I recommend MRI of the operated part for best possible evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
