Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, you need to get it evaluated by the primary surgeon who did surgery to rule out any signs of wound or surgical site infection.
Repeat X-ray or MRI may be done. Meanwhile, continue analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
