Back pain

[hkdontplay 63]

I had surgery November 19th 2013 and I've lost 100 pounds the more weight I lose the more pain I have in my back! It's terrible I cry eveynight bc of the pain it's located where my bra line is down to my lower back! Does anyone else have this problem?

It's interesting that you mention this. I had surgery 7 weeks ago and am down 50 pounds. In the last few weeks, I have been experiencing muscle pain on both sides of my back behind my rib cage. I just assumed it was my Fibromyalgia flaring up, because it feels similar to the pain I experience when it flares up really bad, but maybe it's something else.

This is probably something you should discuss with your surgeon's office or your PCP. Good luck. I hope you find some relief soon. Let us know if you get any answers to this mystery.

I have chronic lower back pain and associated nerve pain as well. The amount of weight I dropped has no impact on it. I've been told that much of the pain started while I was compensating for hip and knee pain and only strengthening exercises will make it better. Of course I'm happy I lost the weight but again, it doesn't seem to affect my pain at all.

I have the same problem. I get like a burning pain just a bit below my bra line as well n I massage it or put a warm patch n the pain minimizes but its almost an everyday thing. I will ask my dr on may 25th n see what he says. Will keep u guys posted
