Hi All

Has anybody experienced extreme backaches after surgery? Mine started about 8-9 days out. So bad I can't get comfortable in any position. Worst is in the am after trying to sleep..

Yeppers. It sucked. It was from posture changes. I found a squishy ball slightly larger than a golf ball (thanks son!) and I lay on it with 2 pillows under my head. I start at my tailbone and work my way up to my neck. I lay there until the ball no longer hurts and then I move it. Once I reach my neck I remove a pillow and work my way back to my tailbone. At the tailbone I remove the last pillow and go back to my neck. This process takes about an hour. The next day I feel like my spine is bruised but what a difference! When I start I can't get my head on the ground but at the end it isn't difficult at all.

Depending on the location of the pain it could be your gallbladder. Hopefully it's just norms have aches, but I would ask! Good luck!

Your gallbladder is on the leftside? Because my back hurts like hell also.

The gallbladder typically presents with pain on the back right side and pain in the shoulder blade. If it's your back left side it may be muscular or possible kidney stone.

Thanks All, it's not my gallbladder that has already been removed. Talked to surgeon last night. She thinks it might be a muscle issue. I have a folllow up on Thursday.. will let you all know

I was having terrible back pain as well. Today I went for a pedicure and sat in the massage chair and it was wonderful!
