kell778 46 Posted July 10, 2015 Hi all I am 9 days post op and really uncomfortable. I have a dull pain all over my lower back that sometimes radiates to the front. I drink anywhere between 48-64oz of Water per day. I had stopped taking my pain meds but restarted when this pain began yesterday. I thought it was because I had drank iced tea but that was once, on the 7th. My urine is really dark though which leads me to believe I'm dehydrated. I would appreciate any help. I'm worried!

christina.banks 5 Posted July 10, 2015 I have been having terrible back pain as well. My hubby says it is because my back is used to carrying around a lot more weight than it is now and it needs to adjust for my new lighter weight, I am almost 4 weeks out. As far as the dark urine, was it just from the tea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
her1981 448 Posted July 10, 2015 Sound like gas pain. I had the same pain around 2 weeks post. I asked my husband to massage my back and it released the gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djmohr 6,965 Posted July 10, 2015 @@kell778, It could very well be a combination of dehydration and Constipation. not sure if you are having that problem but it has caused the exact same symptoms with me. That gas build up can really cause a lot of pain in your back and lower intestines. The best thing to do is hydrate like crazy and call your doctor to get a solution for constipation if in fact you are having that problem. Gas x strips or chewable so might help as well. Good luck and feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
