7 Days Out And Steady Pain In Lower Back

figg22 · December 26, 2011

Hello everyone! I'm now 7 days post op and feeling ok most of the time except I have a steady pain in the lower part of my back that will not go away. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sorry I don't have an answer for you. I will bump it up so hopefully others can see it.

early on I had crazy back pain...it was almost like stabbing burning pain in the lower left part of my back. I talked to the doctors, and they all said it has really nothing to do with the surgery, however the way you walk, sleep, getup & down after surgery is different then normal, so your back could be compensating....

I took tylenol pretty steady for my back, and used the heating pad quite often. And also tried to just walk as much as I could to stretch it out, and it helped.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hoping it is something that I just have to work through and not anything serious. I will try some tylenol and a heating pad.
