Brief Answer:
Wow

Detailed Answer:
if that is the main problem and not back pain or paralysis you sure are lucky.

without being there I cannot diagnose or treat but the main the vs to consider post surgery are these:
development of pneumonia.
in theory blood clot to the lung, but that is usually a severe condition with many other symptoms.

more common are minor pulls,strains, or aches from surgical stresses,
