Anyone else have back pain? Almost like kidney stone pain in a way



Recommended Posts

Anyone having back pain? I had surgery Wednesday morn came home yesterday.. last night was so hard to sleep because of the back pain and have had it all morning.. at first it started low down by kidneys and radiates upward but then will feel like kidney stone pain. Hard to tell if it's gas or if I should go get checked for kidney stones or maybe a uti?

It'll be gas pain. You'll have to walk it off and get a loved one to give you a back rub if poss xx

That's what I figured but the oncall dr said gas pain will not feel like kidney stone pain?

If there's blood in your pee, your pee is super cloudy or smells funny or its sore to urinate it's a uti. If it's just a pain it's probably gas... xx

I had this- was sure it was a kidney stone-nope! Hang in there- it will get better. I can just now sleep on my left side- my pain was left side of my back and I had surgery on 12/11.

I am 17 days post op and my RN gave two reasons. Body is adjusting to new weight loss and possible radiating pain from diaphragm. She said it was ok to go to chiropractor and see what he/she says.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
