Super Achy Body In Third Week -- Is This Common?



Recommended Posts

I'm having a lot of pain in my back in the area of my kidneys. It's not a stabbing pain, more like I'm just really achy. I just want to go curl up in bed, but that doesn't seem to help either.

I know I'm staying hydrated, so it's not that, but would love to have some input on whether this is common at this point (close to three weeks out), and what I might do to relieve it.

Could it be kidney or gallstones? Please check with your doctor.

Sure it could be kidney stones especially if the pain is on one side but it could also be many other things. Like, if its on the right side it could be gall bladder.....or, on either side, could be a kidney infection......could just be gas or Constipation. Please call ur doctor.

I would call the doctor's office just in case...I also had an achy back, but is gone now...mine was from gas and laying down too much...I was very tired the second week and slept a lot.

Thanks folks. I'm out of town unfortunately and hoping it will go away by itself. If it gets worse, I'll go to the ER.

Talked to my physician and he thinks I might be constipated. Says take some Miralax and if ache is not better by Monday, to come in to the office.

Says if it was kidney stones, I'd have a different kind of pain and it would be more intense.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
