Back Pain??

I am 3 days post-op and everything is great except my back.

I think it is from the gas and how I am getting around. Trying to protect my

incisions from pain that maybe I am sitting/standing funny and now my lower back is killing me. Any sugestions would be very helpfull.

I also had back pain and still do. I walked around 'carrying' my belly and in turn walked sort of slouched over. I also recently pulled a muscle in my abdomen which my doc tells me is directly linked to my back, so unfortunately it hasn't gotten much better. I've found a warm heating pad or warm baths help wonders. The doc also said the hydrocodone I received as painkillers wouldn't help, and since we can't have NSaids, the only thing to take is Tylenol. Good luck!
