Has anyone ever had leg aches after a spinal fusion?

I had a spinal fusion at level L5-S-1 4 weeks ago . My legs ache all the time. It is worse at the end of the day and at bedtime. Just wondering if this is common.

Answers:
Yes, my doctor put me on Reqip for this and it helped but, I couldn't afford it any longer. Silver State my carrier changed their habits and raised their copay to $74.00 so, it's back to the vicodin. A Hydrocordone, better than nothing and it really works better.
My back, after twelve surgeries is literally falling apart, 32 wires, twelve cadaver bones, 12 of my own hip bones, 32 screws, I only hoped they used washers. I have pain like you wouldn't believe, I wished we could get together and start a club, really. Compare notes. or something.
My feet are either burning, freezing, cramping. The sciatic sends it's little lightening shots down my butt into my leg.
