It's still so close to your surgery and your activity level is probably on the way up, so you may be flaring things. You are probably not on NSAIDs because of fusion. Stay cool... let yourself heal and increase your activities slowly. If you discover limits... dial it back a little.

I'd let the doc know anyway... onset of new symptoms is something you should let him know about. They may blow it off and may not want such detail... but err on the side of caution. When do you see her next?
