Back Pain anyone?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was February 10th 2014. Everything went splendidly. No gas pains from anesthesia, no pain period. About 6 days later I had this awful pain in my back......in the middle and it wrapped around to my ribs. Its strange and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced back paid - and what can you tell me about it.

Call your doctor, but it is probably gas...walking will help a LOT... the dr may recomment gas-x or something to help...this is not uncommon, but you want to make sure that is all it is...

good luck....

I called the nurse at my doctors practice and she told me I might be eating too much or too much Fiber ..... I am 19 days post surgery so I can't imagine eating too much. I went back to the liquid stage and had to relieve Constipation and so far ( knock on wood) back pain is almost gone. Ps the only thing food wise I ate was puréed Lentil Soup but she felt lentils are too Fiber outs and could have caused constipation.

So many things to learn lol. I hope you are feeling better. How far out are you since surgery?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
