Unbearable Nerve Pain Even After Laminotomy. How Long Will It Take To Recover?

Had laminotomy jan 3. To this day still have bad nerve pain, primarily on left outside calf. Friday night, while getting out of bed, felt a "pop" on lower left buttock bone and now pain is making walking almost unbearable. I'm assuming this is not surgery related and is just another setback in what seems like an unusually long recovery process. Any ideas on what I did and next steps?

Meanwhile you can have gabapentin/pregablin drugs.
