Talk to your surgeon: Pain going down your leg, numbness and tingling after having back surgery , would be part of an expected recovery program. Hopefully over time the pain would go away. The best person to handle this question would be the one that did your surgery and asked them what should you expect based on the surgery that was performed.

Post-op scarring: You have likely lumbosacral arachnoiditis and scarring, and this is indeed a tough entity to control, but nonetheless, would urge a visit to physical therapy, commence low level aerobic exercise and stretching, and gradually increase your activity. Yes, this will be painful, but in the end, far more comfortable than your current dilemma.
