Hope you get relief. I wonder if the angle of your spine has changed post op (since standing brings on the pain) and if there is any new compression/shifting of vertebrae or discs or if you injured your back or twisted to bring on the new pain. I was told my recovery and full fusion would take 3 months so I want to be really careful not to twist.
The MRI will need to include your full lumbar spine and sacrum to compare to pre-op imaging.
Here is my recent X-ray.
