Sudden pain in foot 5 weeks post op. False alarm?

Now here I was, thinking I've had a clean getaway. I was one of the lucky ones. All my pre op symptoms had gone. My surgery related pain was abating and at five weeks post op I felt like I had beaten the odds. I went back to work today  and this evening after work I had a sudden bout of intense burning, searing pain in my metatarsal area if my left foot.

The pain may have been because I wore my shoes for the first time and perhaps over did it. It may gave been some nerve awakening like some folks have written about. But it is the first real issue I've had post surgery as far as "new pain" goes...

I bandaged my foot for a short while and it didn't help.  Trying icing now as I post this.  I just hope that this us just a blip and it will go away over night. Because the pain is pretty much ouch..

Update next day:

Yes, a false alarm. Reading all those negatives on spine surgery forums are of no help at all. One simply conjures up worries. The foot pain went away, and I know now it was the tight shoes I wore. Silly.
