12 Hours Post-Op....back Pain

[MissManders 3]

I've been having back pain on and off all day. I'm sure some of it is from gas, but I think some of it also is from the operating table and the way I have been sitting/laying today. It almost feels like my back needs cracked....normally, when I get that feeling I just bend backwards a little, it pops, and I'm great. However, with the incisions, I'm not willing to try that.

Is this normal? Any ideas on how to make it stop? Would a heating pad work?

I had terrible back pain starting the second day. Lasted for a couple of days. I had to sit straight instead of leaning back in the chair more. It has helped. It is much better but if I stay I. Bed too long or sit around too much it does come back

i reckon its from your position on the table as well... i wouldnt try cracking it the way you usually do. not yet. can your hubbie give your back a good massage?? definately heat packs.

Heat packs help the sore muscles in your back and gas pain
