Having a bad night
A lot of the back pain can be from lying on the operating table.I had a revision and was on the table 3 hours.I had a lot of back pain. The gas pains that take a while to go away and the back pain was made better by walking around to relief the stiffness.

Cpap machine nightmare
I have used a cpap for years.Mine does ramp up and also find using nasal pillows a lot more comfortable.When you lose weight you will need another sleep study.If you have a stuffy nose try using an antihistamine,to clear your nose and tubes to your ears.
