Hello family I had my surgery on 25 May and I had gastric bypass and currently I have lost 60 pounds but I have noticed lately that I have left hip pain in lower back pain I did not have this pain when I was 60 pounds heavier and I no what is that since I have lost the weight especially in my hips and my butt area, I am starting to have this pain to the point that if I shipped my hip I actually here at Pat has anyone experienced this what is your advice thank you

Hi! I experienced the same exact thing the first six months after my surgery. After going to several doctors my chiropractor, I learned that my nerves were returning and gaining sensation. I was so worried that I injured myself. I was learning to walk again properly ( regaining strength) and my body was numb from all the weight I was carrying. My doctor prescribed Melixacam and it helped tremendously. Hope this helps.

Thank you and yes yes yes

Also, as you lose weight we move and walk differently using muscles we have not previously used which can also cause more pain.

Ha! I haven't had surgery yet, but my left hip also was so painful. With my left sided cancer history that meant I had to do xrays, ct scan and an mri. Turned out to be bursitis. I had a cortisone shot and am starting PT this week. The shot helped tremendously!

When we are fat we lose the natural curve of our spine because we sit differently to adjust to our weight... different "curves." We need to learn to sit differently to reclaim that natural lumbar curve. Until we do that can be a source of new pain. See pic.

Is that the same for legs too?
