I just have a question since i'm seeing a gastric sleeve doctor soon. I have pain on my side that extends into the back with cramping. The cramping can get very bad, and no one seems to give me a clear cut answer to why I get this pain. I've heard many people say it was a gallbladder problem but I'm still not sure. The pain comes and goes and is like a cramping, discomforting type of thing. Seeing as people post here all the time I was wondering if anyone has any advice or help with this topic.

I also am experiencing a lot of back cramping the last couple weeks after a month of returning to the workforce, now working a job where I am on my feet all day.

These cramps can occur randomly, sitting or standing. Can't get comfortable when there's an inflammation.

The pain & point is located in the middle centre of my left side... Near/on the bra line.

I've tried all sorts of bras, loosening the straps & such.

I have trouble believing that it might be my breasts are too heavy, since they were the first to go and look like flapjacks now... Or that my back muscles aren't strong enough since they've held so much more through the years and through the first few weeks of returning to work.

Is there any kind of specialist we can see to help us find the source of the problem? Podiatry perhaps?

Also, Tylenol & muscle relaxers w/ acetominophen do not really touch the pain. I've had to leave work early yesterday and take the day off to try and "recover" and give it some rest.
