Back pain- what helps?



Recommended Posts

I tend to get back pain after I eat even when I'm not over eating.... I'm sure it's a mix of gas and eating. Is there anything that will relieve it, it seems to last for over an hour or more! Pressure always makes it feel better but is there anything else, heating pad, icy hot, etc?! Thanks!

Unfortunately, because we don't know the cause of the pain we can't realistically suggest something to help relieve it.

If I were you, I'd talk to your doctor about it. It could be something as simple as indigestion or something more serious like your gallbladder.

agree with missy, if you take anything like beano etc. you might be masking a more serious problem. because the pain is new it screams "talk it over with your doctor"

I wish I could help , however I have detteriating, degenerating bulging discs in y back , so I do the icy hot roll on and sleep with a hot Water agaist y back every night as I can make it as firm as I want cause a heating pad just won't work for me , but talk with your doc so maybe they can figure something out,

Next time you get back pain from eating, take an anti-acid medication and see if that alleviates it....if it does, notify your Dr.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
