left side gastric sleeve cramping

[Green1 16]

im still dealing with the pain that goes into my back. it is a kind of cramping satisfaction/release type of pain. i was put on muscle relaxers but they dont work very well. has anyone ever heard of anything like this? left side pain that cramps and can be due to scar tissue and goes into the spine? anyone can give any help?

How long ago was your surgery? Is the dr going to order some tests? I hope you get relief.

Hi, I am two weeks post op as of today [emoji3]. Little ache in the lower left side the area where they removed the stomach from but no issued with cramping nor spasms. I hope you will get relief soon. What did your doctor say about this?

[Green1 16]

they say there is not much that can be done. it could be due to an abdominal muscle or nerves in that area. ive been dealing with this pain for a very long time. i wonder if this has been documented at all.

Walk as much as possible. It will help the gases from laparoscopic surgery absorb and make your back hurt less.
My surgeon said to use a heating pad on your stomach for muscle pain. I’m 1 week post op today and it helped soooo much

I also had side and back pain that got pretty bad 2 weeks after surgery. I finally went to the chiropractor, who stretches me out really good! It's the constant leaning forward, to protect my stomach and pulled muscles in a way they don't normally go. She said to stretch my back out daily, which I do and it really helps!
