Taradawn15 148 Posted July 24, 2013 I have never had back problem before, which I know is very fortunate. About 4 months ago I started getting numbness in my back and it has recently changed from that to pain. I was referred to physical therapy but after 3 months there is no change. I know have a referral to ortho. My physical therapist wondered if it was from the rapid weight loss. I scheduled at appt with my surgeon but can't see him till sept. Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this or any similar issues. My thoughts are it may be less about the rapid weight loss and more about the fast return to exercise. Ant thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I'm not looking for a diagnose or anything just kinda wanna know if anyone has experienced this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda626 153 Posted July 24, 2013 I never had trouble but now have quite a bit of lower back pain. I think a lot of it is the weight loss . Who knows! 1 Taradawn15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sherri297 81 Posted July 24, 2013 I see a chiropractor and get a message once a month to help with the back problems. Part of my issue is age. You may try swimming or some other low impact type of exercise with alot of stretching. I've also tried physical therapy to no avail. Wishing you the best. 1 Taradawn15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
