Lap band - Gastric Sleeve Back and Left Side Pain

[Green1 16]

I have really bad pain when I sit down. I had lap band to gastric sleeve surgery. I had many tests and X-rays done. When I sit down I am in really bad pain and I've tried many things to remedy or get rid of the pain. Has anyone on this forum or in any other place heard of this before? Can anyone help me with some help with dealing with this?

Just my experience: Constipation? I was getting terrible pains in my left back side around the kidney area no matter what position I was in. It was getting worse and worse each day. I saw my GP who checked urine and did not find anything. She took a listen to my bowels and they were really quiet. I took some Linzess the next few days and the issue has been resolved.

Re: The pain is painful when I sit down. It "clicks" and hurts when I sit in a seated position and can be very painful. It cramps and spasms in the back. What can I do about this pain? Has anyone in this forum ever heard of this? It feels like the pouch or the spine cramps up.. I had x-rays, mris, etc.
