Back pain post op?

Anyone else experienced mid back pain after surgery? I'm 10 days post op and gave had almost cramping back pain in my middle back. Can't seem to get comfortable. Standing makes it worse. Any one else?

I'm 5 days post op and have horrible lower back pain. Nurse said could be referred pain from surgery and also the gas they use to expand your stomach. Sometimes its worse then the incisions.

I am 10 post op and have a little back pain. I find that each day gets easier

I had terrible back pain 5 days post op. It really hurt sitting, lying every position. I equaled up with anxiety. I took 1/2 xanax slept very well. Next morning pain was gone. I think I was so stressed my muscles were in knots. Im now 11 days post op I have not had back pain since.
