clw126 15 Posted October 22, 2012 Do any of you see a chiropractor? How long did you wait after surgery to go? My back is killing me and would love to go get adjusted, but I don't if all that twisting and pushing is a bad idea. I will prob call the surgeons office today.

Alli in StL 23 Posted October 22, 2012 I waited a couple weeks. My chiropractor did a more gentle adjustment the first time, and after that, it was back to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
line-dancer 810 Posted October 22, 2012 I have a rupture disc in L5 and tail bone and it really got mad the week after surgery but once I had a BM it was much better seems that there was a lot of gas sqeaming to be released. Try laxitive. gas x and heating pad first call doctor for advise after that. line daner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiggergramma 129 Posted October 22, 2012 My surgeon asked me to wait 6 weeks. I have had thoracic back pain since surgery, and am waiting very impatiently to see my chiropractor...about 2 more weeks now. The back pain really gets to me when I am working, so I can hardly wait to see him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
