MsShaunaMarie 82 Posted January 11, 2013 Hey guys and gals.. I am 8 wks out and am experiencing middle level back pains Dont really know why. I went back to work about two wks ago could this be why I have been released from the doctor on full duty and am able to do all of my regular job functions. I have to lift tungsten/lead shielded canisters from about shoulder level to waste level a couple time a night. But nor more than 4 times a night. I work in a radio-pharmacy that makes radioactive drugs and the product has to be shielded with lead or tungsten we call them pigs hehe. but I dont think lifting them would hurt my back, Didnt before surgery.
