Back Pain

[4SFLFDS 59]

Has anyone experienced any back pain? I had no problems pre-RNY but the last several days have had terrible pain in left lower back. I've read could be from spine alignment due to the rapid weight loss?

Have you been eating right and taking your Vitamins. If not then go to doc because that may be malnutrition effecting renal.

You're not using your core muscles, so your back is doing all the work your front used to do. Strengthen your core and the back pain will subside.

I do agree on the CORE. This is my extreme lower back only on left, in one spot I can point to-started day after I did my daily walk at my parents farm (uneven surface-gravel, dirt, hills)

I have all kinds of back problems but after surgery they have become maddening. I have to see a Chiropractor very often and it helps alot

When was your surgery date? How soon after surgery can we get a massage?

My surgery was 10/23/12--5 weeks ago. I don't know the soonest, I just called my dr and he suggested I try it for my back pain.
