Middle of the back pain sounds like it could be from the thoracic/lumbar junction which is a common 'hinge' point for most folks who aren't regularly training. Essentially instead of using the vertebrae as segmental movements, we will hinge at that junction which then over-stresses the area and causes some symptoms; generally local to the area with a wrapping sensation on occasion that flares out to the sides/underarm. PT can help, generally improving extension patterns helps these kinds of folks in my clinic.

Also, Usain Bolt has scoliosis and is one of, if not the, fastest runner in the world and doesn't seem to complain of pains, that can be you too; maybe not the fastest runner, but pain isn't required!

It's possible that there was some nerve irritation at the time of surgery or even post-op swelling causing pressure against the nerves and decreasing their functions. It should be improving though with time and the more you use the affected limb things should start to feel better. If things persist longer than a couple of months I would definitely be following up with my surgeon; though you should have PT that can help you in the immediate short term to discern what's normal and what's not.

Research doesn't support pelvic tilts as a problem or have a correlation to pain, or that clinicians can even reliably palpate this difference.
