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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
