after surgery there may come back pain issue since the body weight is transfer to back. all you need to do is get the physiotherapy done meanwhile do hot fomentation for 10-15 mins on your back, gluteal muscle squeez(buttock squeez ) exercises,knee isometrics and wear a back support while walking, keep a pillow or cushion under your knees in lying position.
