Some people who undergo spinal surgery especially related to trauma have such problems.If the symptoms are severe it is good to have an MRI of the dorso-lumbar spine and an Xray of the sacrum and coccyx taken.If these are normal you have to start physiotherapy after consulting a physiotherapist.If a CT or an MRI of your brain was not taken you can also consider taking it after consulting a neurologist to rule out any injury to your brain
