I'm getting desperate for answers.
I am truly happy with the results of my choice to have gastric sleeve surgery. But I do have a problem.
I had gastric sleeve surgery Nov 20th 2014. After two months sometime before Christmas I started to get a burning nagging sensation in my upper back along my rib cage. It is now 9 months since my surgery and I have lost around 110 lb. The back pain has been getting worse as I lose more weight. It is now getting unbearable. The pain starts in my upper back along the outer part of my ribs away from my spine and as the day goes on it moves down and starts moving around the sides of my ribs. The pain is a burning aching pain that can become unbearable towards the end of the day. It increases with activity. At the end of the day after I get home and get comfortable in a recliner it's fine. I have been to a pulmonologist and had a cat scan. My lungs and bones are said to be fine, no sign of cancer. I have been to my PC several times in the past 6 months, had all my blood work with nothing out of the ordinary. I have also been to my chiropractor. No one can figure this out. Please reply with any ideas that you might have.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
