There are several questions to ask;
1) Where exactly is the pain?
2) Is it low back , mid back or hip region.
3) Does the pain occur in bed or anywhere you lie down?
4) What type of pain; dull, sharp, achy, radiating...?
5) What part of the back was fused?
Possible answer with out knowing the facts are;
1) If it is only when lying in your bed, the mattress would likely be a major possibility.
2) If it is in the hip or low back region it could due to fixation of the hips and seeing a chiropractor could take care of that.
3) General treatment could include use of a CBD cream, Sombra cream, TENS unit.
4) Do some stretching exercising in a pool.
My suggestion would be to see a Chiropractor in your area to get an initial evaluation to see if it is treatable or need a referral back to your surgeon.
Bottom line you should be seen for an evaluation because there are many possible answers to your question.
