8 wks Post op and back pain...



Recommended Posts

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.

When your body loses weight it begins to morph. Especially you back bone because its been holding a lot of weight on it. It will go away as the body adjusts.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
