Back pain post op

[gomezk2 24]

I am 4 days postop and i am having severe back pain. Wanted to ask if this was normal or a warning sign of something wrong. Currently i am on the full liquid diet period today. Dont know if this has to do with some of the gas that has not yet left my body after anestesia or could it be a sign of something else more. Any help would be thankful!!

You might refer to your discharge instructions. The only element that might pertain was

When to contact you physician - New onset of upper back or left shoulder pain.

Totally normal 😀 Mine hurt for quite a while . I'm 11 months out .

My back pain moved from lower back pre-op to mid back post op. I think my body's muscle memory has something to do with it. Pressure is being relieved at a fast pace and the muscles don't know what to do yet. Try Arnica gel and stretching often.
