Gastric Sleeve Herniated Disc Back Pain

[Green1 16]

Has anyone heard of gastric sleeve spasm of the lower back? I had two herniated discs and have lower back pain, could the pain be due to the gastric sleeve?

Have you had an MRI? It sounds like the herniated discs are making your back hurt, not the surgery? Does that sound right? I have degenerative disc disease and part of why I got the surgery was to take some of the weight off to help my back feel better. PT, dry needling, and Tramadol all help me.

I had 2 lumbar surgeries in one year and the most helpful thing was PT, it really helped me!

Anatomically speaking, I would think it would be unusual to feel a gastric spasm in the back.

If you already have a diagnosis of a herniated disc(s), it is entirely possible that the discs are causing spasms in the muscles of your back. It's also possible that the herniation is impinging a nerve. With these kinds of degeneration and injury, there are a lot of conditions that could be contributing to your pain. You may want to follow up with the doctor who treats your back, just in case.

The good news is, as you lose weight and become more physically active, these should help your condition.
