Back Pain at 5 weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
