I'm sorry to hear that you still have this pain after surgery. Stretching can help to loosen up some muscles and connective tissues at the back (and hence, may help relieve the pain), however, I suggest that these stretchings be made under the guidance of a rehabilitation medicine specialist, or a physical therapist (so as to avoid the injuries you mentioned). You should also be following up with your surgeon for him or her to examine the areas that he operated, and report to him any changes that you may experience. For now, pain medications are your best bet. Some would try alternative treatments like accupuncture but this should be discussed first with your doctor.
