NOT SURE: what surgery you had but if there is inflammation from surgery the surgeon and your pmd should re assess you

Headaches: If the headaches change with position where they are better with lying down and worse with sitting up then you may have a cerebrospinal fluid leak. Headaches associated with neck pain, fever and sensitivity to light may indicate an infection. It is important to call or visit your back surgeon to discuss the problems that you are having now.
