I am in very much pain today, so much I can barely walk. It is in my back and left hip. I don't think it has anything to do with the lap band but I was just wondering if anyone has had anything like it? After having the lap band I had alot of gas pain in my left shoulder and chest. Then it went to in between my shoulder blades. That all seems to be gone now but now I am having this back and hip pain that almost brings me to my knees. I have never had pain like this before. If it doesn't get any better today I will be going to the emergency room tonight! :sneaky:

Hi,

I am having the same symptoms. I am 14 days post op today. For the last 3 days I hade left hip pain causing exteme sharp pains when I tried to move and that got better and now I have pain in my mid back just below shoulder blades. The worst symtom that I cannot seem to shake is the extreme fatigue! I cannot work, all I want to do is lay down and sleep. My mind seems too foggy to work and my body is too tired to even sit up right! would love to know what this all might mean??? I have a p/o visit tomorrow but I am not sure if I can stay awake to drive the 1.5 hours to get there!!! HELP!

Hello Lalalude,

I am not very good finding my way around this website but I am learning. Are you still having pain? I found out what my problem was. I have a disk protrusion in between L3 and L4 and it was pinching a nerve. No one knows how it happened or when. I have been through alot trying to figure it out. 2 emergency room visits with x-rays and a CT scan and my doctor finally ordered an MRI. So I had to get steroid epidural injections in my back, it took 2 times and now the pain is almost all gone. I hope everything is all good with you now.
