Back muscle pain



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 months post op and have been having bad muscle spasms ( or just pain) across the middle of my back. I have it even when I don't eat so it's not from eating too fast or over eating. It comes and goes but nothing seems to relieve it. I've dropped about 80 lbs in 3 months and was just wondering if anybody else had this type of problem. I keep myself hydrated so I don't think that is the problem either. It is really annoying because other than that, I feel pretty good. Any body have any other ideas?

how long has it been going on?

It may be gas...you need to walk to help relieve that

but, unfortunately it may be something else (gallbladder etc)... if it has been going on for days, call your doctor!

Sounds like the gallbladder to me but i could be wrong.... since you lost so much weight and so fast... this can affect the gallbladder unfortunately.... Tell your doctor about this please.

Def get your gallbladder checked. I thought it was my back when mine went south. Your symptoms sound very similar.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
