Back problems after fill



Recommended Posts

I have basically reached my sweet spot. After the last two fills which were small , seems my back, shoulder, arm, and side have ached for days after the fills. I started out having my gallbladder tested, then appendicts and now I'm having back and nerve problems. Doctor suggested that it could be from the placement of the band. My last trip to the dr. was because of burning and tingling on the right side of my body. Has anyone had any of these symptoms since their band?

I have been having the same exact problems, I actually went to the doctor and she told me it was my gall bladder, they did a test and I had stones in my gall bladder, had it removed and the pain is still there!! My shoulder, back and arm hurt so bad sometimes it makes me want to cry and I don't have insurance so have not been able to go to the doctor to see what is wrong!! It def interferes with my life but I am thinking it might be expensive to fix!! I wrote my doctor in regards to some things and of course he has not responded and I have a feeling he won't!! He is in Mexico(Dr. Kuri) so I am sure I won't be hearing a thing, which upsets me cause he is the one that put it in!! If you find out anything I would appreciate it if you could let me know what they say!! I hope yours gets better soon, I have prayed about it and I know it will all work out in the end!! Take Care!!

I am going back to the lap band doctor today and tell them what the other drs. have suggested. I do have a pinched nerve in my neck but I know when I pinched my nerve. Like I said the pain started in my side first. Thanks for praying for me. I hope your issues are solved soon. I will let you know what I find out.

I experienced this for quite a while and at different times, after surgery, between fills, after fills. Always seems to come back to gas - but that may just be me. I too suffer from chronic back pain only aided by regular visits to chiropractor.:(
