Lumbar Spinal Fusion, Post-Op. Should I have these symptoms?

I just reached 2-months post-op following my L3-4-5 spinal fusion, and got hit with what appears to be SI Joint pain. My surgeons PA tells me that I can be referred to Pain Management to get injections into the SI joints. This pain is bad. I can barely stand up or walk. Has anyone experienced anything like this following a spinal fusion?

deman55, are you involved with physical therapy. You might try deep tissue massage focused solely on the muscles involved with the SI Joint.
