Brenda,
Have the shop which repaired your brake a few months ago recheck them now to see if they are indeed worn to the point of grinding or if there is some other problem. You need to have this done quickly, driving with bad brakes can be dangerous. Let me know what they find.

I don't think the brake pads are worn out already unless the caliper piston is sticking. However the shop would be able to visually inspect the brakes and tell you what's happening. Remember the problem could be something that is out of "adjustment" or misaligned and therefore causing the noise. Only a visual inspection can determine this.
