4 months s/p bilat pars repair. slipped and fell on carpeted stairs. surgery area whacked stair. should i be worried. small increase in pain? er, xray

Depends: As you say a small increase in pain. If this does not improve within a reasonable time, then I suggest a visit to your surgeon just to be reassured there is nothing really wrong. A bruise also takes some time to heal. Don't wait too long however.
