4 days post op ....BACK PAIN plez help

[A. Stoot 85]

Anyone out there experience severe back pain, if so, what did do to ease the pain?

Call your doctor or go to the ER......this is not a good place for medical advice especially if your pain is severe. Pain is not normal ever. It could something as simple be trapped gas but it could be something more.

Take care of yourself

Thanks, back pain was not on the list of symptoms to be on watch for, I will call my Dr. office

I agree with calling doc but I also had a really sore, painful back the first week. I think it was muscle pain from anesthesia, being guarded from pain (tense muscles) and probably just gas. The heating pad was my best pain - right in the middle of my shoulder blades. But, no thread on this site can replace what your doc says. Let us know what you find out.

You can try going to a chiropractic for the pain you did stay in a hospital for 2 days or so. One time I had a eye op and had to lay on my side for a week pulled my neck n shoulder something fierce.

Thanks everyone, @@CrazyJaney you were right, it was gas pain/muscles. My Dr recommended more walking and that did the trick. I do still have some pain, but not as server like before.

Heating pad works wonders, better than pain meds!

Gasx strips work wonders.
