I would be interested myself. I had a right colectomy in Dec./25. I have lower back pain as well, but I did have it before the surgery as well. I have had several herniated discs L2-3 to L5-S1.

It is hard to figure out if you have had other back issues. Mine definitely increased after the surgery especially lower right. I found that gentle walks help. I will end up seeing my family dr and will keep posting results.
I have not had other worrisome aftereffects except for some bloating and distension which I already had before (gerd etc) which is why my doc sent me for that first colonoscopy which diagnosed my cancer thankfully.
I hope your healing is going well otherwise with no other serious aftereffects.
