Might you have kidney stones? Since you've had thoracic spine surgery, you're probably right in guessing that the pain has some connection with it, but the pain of kidney stones may be like the pain you describe too.

It's often described as flank pain but it can definitely radiate around. The pain can be very nearly intolerable.

I hope you have a competent doctor looking into this?
