Pain on left side of back

I have been dealing w/ a pain on the left side of my back since being sleeved. I was sleeved on 9.20.12. At first I thought it was due to constipation, but it's not. It's also not a constant pain. It seems to start hurting if I stand for a period of time esp. When walking. Has anyone else experienced this? I've seen my Dr about it, but no conclusion on what could be causing it.

If its mid back I would say maybe kidney stone?

I have already spoken to my surgeon,so I guess its time to seek out another dr's opinion??? The pain is on my left back under where my rib cage is. If u press on it the pain subsides. I was just curious if anyone else had the same pain around the same location.

I have the same thing, it even hurts to take a deep breath.

Interesting that you mention this because I too have most recently had this pain. Mine normally happens from sitting. This is odd isn't it?

I wonder what it is??? I've tried figuring it out, but cannot pinpoint what causes it.

I have this also. feels mostly muscular, possible like a cramp. If i take a deep breath and stretch a little it seems to go away
