Back pain

I had surgery 3 days ago, haven't really needed pain med at home, but now having dull pain and a bit of throbbing in mid back to the left of my spine. Not terrible just bothersome. Anyone else experience this?

Could be the positioning on the surgical table and just clenching muscles with pain. Sounds muscular but if it doesn't get better, check with doc! I' had surgery Thursday and still taking some pain meds. I have a heating pad on my back too. It hurts between my shoulder blades but I've heard that's normal.

Thanks for responding crazyjaney! It's easy to fear the worst. Can you believe we are on the other side?

It's surreal! Can't believe it really. My family had pizza tonight. I went and took a shower while they ate. It was hard though, thinking I'll never eat pizza like that again. I'll eat pizza, but it won't be thick, stuffed crust! The smell was hard to be around. But once it was done, I was ok. Hope your back feels better soon. I kinda feel sore all over but especially between my shoulder blades. Can't wait to sleep on my right side again!

I had a friend who had to leave the room when her family had pizza and wings. Luckily my husband cooks not so much to my liking so I'm ok. Now walk me past Gardunos (Mexican food) and I'm gonna have trouble ????
