Hi,
It seems a bit random to pick on a surgery from 20 years ago. Back pain can be from muscles (it would seem OUTSIDE) or from spinal nerve pinching which seems shooting, internal, and often with electrical feelings and sensation and mobility issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
