Hello,
Pain in buttocks running down the shin is likely to be neural in origin. With a previous history of laminectomy, compression of nerve is the most probable cause. I suggest you to consult your treating doctor at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
