Hello,
A headache you have had which if I understand correctly happened after some time after the surgery is not related to the fusion procedure.
If MRI and CT scan didn't show anything you have nothing to be alarmed, could be a primary headache like tension-type or a migraine headache, but since you do not provide a description of the pain it's hard to say, you should consult a neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
