Default returning pain

I was just wondering if the pain that returned while doing an unintentional deep knee bend to reach something on the floor is actually from the Rhizotomy wearing off? I had the Rhizo in December at 4 levels. My fusion was at two levels in Feb. It has now been 4 months. This is a really annoying pain which I thought was a piriformis muscle irritation. Now I wonder if the nerves are growing back and it has just been there. It started at the back of my leg in the joint and it felt like a tear and deep pain in the joint. Am I doing too much? Can't I do a little bending at two months? Does anyone have any ideas? I cannot believe it is coming from my back again although it does come up the side of the sacral area. Is this SI joint inflammation? I am not sure what to think it is????
