Back Pain at 5 weeks Post Op

The last couple days I am experiencing crazy back pain in my upper back. If I lay flat it seems to be ok, but up and seated UGH! I have read some that maybe its just my bones and such shifting around? I am down 30 lbs since my surgery on September 3rd. I lost an additional 15lbs during my Options class with Kaiser. Just wondering if this will go away soon.

What was the trigger for your back pain? During my experience in gym I've seen many weight lifters facing this issue, and the reason behind the issue is lifting heavy weight without proper training and wrong posture. Many weight lifters wear weight lifting belt to prevent weight lifting belt, because it supports the back. You can see its benefits here https://www.aqfsports.com/blogs/news/definitive-weightlifting-belts-guide , There may be many potential causes of back pain and the way of treating it will be different for each case.

Hi, how bout see your primary physician could be a number of things. I would probably start with a urine test for uti. Could be kidney pain. Might need an antibiotic
