What Causes Leg Ache After A Herniated Disc Surgery?

i had back surgery for a herniated disc and 2 compressed nerves about 2 months ago and i started having leg pain 2 days ago. It is from the right knee down on the back of my leg about 4-6 inches. It is only when i lay down and try to move or pick my leg up.
