Spinal fusion surgery followed by DVT

[East Bay Rider]

I'd been suffering with pinched nerves, discs rubbing and arthritis for years so on April 24 I had the L4-L5 fusion complete with screws, rods, spacer, cadaver bone (hope the PO was cool) and arthritis removal. I stayed in the stepdown unit of the hospital until Saturday (4/27) when I was transferred to a nursing home for rehab. I came home the following Tuesday (4/30) after proving that I was very mobile and self reliant. I'd stopped taking any pain medication other than Tylenol while still in the hospital.
It seems almost immediately after arriving home I developed a DVT in my calf. In fact it may have even started in the rehab facility. Naturally I ignored the pain for a week (dumb) before going for an ultrasound and a trip to the ER where I was subsequently put on blood thinners. They've assured me the DVT is no longer dangerous, just annoying.
Now it's almost a month since the surgery and two weeks since treating the DVT and my leg still hurts if I'm mobile even though I'm elevating it at rest. I'm wearing the compression socks as directed.
I know this surgery is pretty common. Surely others have gone through this or more. What was your experience like? Timeline? I really thought I'd be feeling pretty good by now.
