My ortho prescribed diclofenac which is an NSAID due to very bad upper back pains. I take it twice a day and it helps almost immediately. My X-rays came back normal but I still don't know why the severe back pains.
I asked my surgeon if I can take this medication and he said it was ok as long as I take it with Zantac.
I'm scared of long term use and affect to my pouch but not taking it brings back severe pain and almost leaves me immobilized with chest pain.
Have any of you had or have severe upper back pain after wls?
