See acute back pain can be of due to many reasons, it may or may not be related to your previous surgery. But pain is severe and also radiating to your legs or thigh, you might need some investigations for that you can again consult to orthopedics surgeon. Check your lifestyle too-daily bike or car driving, sleeping patterns, weight lifting etc. Don't be afraid, but just visit the nearby hospital so that your doubt gets cleared by some investigations.
