Hello, Some pain is quite normal after surgery. Anyway, I would recommend holding a lumbar brace and performing physiotherapy. If the gait difficulty persists or even worsens, I would recommend going to the ER for a lumbar spine CT scan.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
