Thank you for asking!
Swelling without trauma with previous history of surgical spinal interventions make it likely a rheumatological cause and it needs a rheumatologist for the management, Meanwhile get some pain relief medicines and get to ER for some radiological eork up to rule out any fracture. Needs work up.An orthopaedist should be consulted at an earliest convenience.
Take care
