Sorry to hear about your back pain. I have a pain under my left side that makes it hard to relax on my side. It developed after I had my first belly laugh last evening. In general I haven't slept well since surgery and hope this will pass. Today, I plan to walk, walk, walk and hopefully the pains will subside and I will be more tired? Who knows.

I have been walking since I'm been home I mean im just walking and walking but nothing seems to make the pain go away.. I notice if I sneeze I feel this burning feeling in my tummy area..

Is it gas? I had terrible pains in my shoulders and lower back for the first 2 weeks post op. Some of the pains would make me cry! Nothing helped..I tried Gas X, Tylenol, and even the Vicodin prescribed. It's probably not what you want to hear, but it will eventually go away. I walked and waited...I hope you feel better soon!

This back pain started 3 days ago and I feel like I got run over by a Mac truck but not sure if its the weather changing in Vermont it's Kinda cold and some leaves are changing so hopefully it will go away!! Thanks

Sounds like gas pain. Try walking more if you can. I had gas pain for weeks. It was literally my entire torso (back, shoulders, chest under the rib cage).

sleeping was rough but I'd get up and walk every time I couldn't sleep. Give it time and it will stop hurting so bad.

I am 16 days post op, and have been feeling great. Last night, I developed a stretching like pain in my left side after i went for a walk...i used a heating pad and that seemed to help. Today I have leftsided back pain.....I am burping a lot so I am wondering if it is gas?

I 2 had the back pain starting on day 9.I think its due to sleepy uncomfortably on a couch or n a recliner. I finally gave in and tried very slowly and laid on my tummy. Omg the feeling was amazing. It didnt hurt and it was uncomfortable. That was the best sleep ive ever had. But I get the back pain still especially when I go for walks. I think it has to do with posture. We sit differently so our incisions dont hurt then when we fet up to walk it causes back pain. Well thats what I think it is. Hope urs is getting better
