Hello,
Since you say you had back surgery and don't know what is the status of it and you are not getting any better. Then we would think of that operation might be a failure and didn't fuse the vertebra properly. Sorry to say you might need little money but you can go to a government set up for it if you have BPL card or something treatment will be free but I think you need immediate MRI scan of the spine and we need to evaluate and re-post you for surgery if its demanded.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
