doublesuffcones 14 Posted October 21, 2018 I did look in the topic list and didnt see anything that would come close to this topic if I did miss it I am sorry... I just had my surgery on the 16 of oct and have been having weird pains in random places such as hip, rump, back of the upper arm. It feels as if I am pulling a small section of the muscle off the bone or tearing of the muscle. Any one else having this type of issues and have you figured out how to fix it?Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 lturczak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app How much weight have you lost? People tend to forget that fat doesn't reside only subdermally, we've got Visceral fat as well. Visceral fat protects muscles, bone, tendons, etc. So when we lose a lot of weight, we lose Visceral fat as well, this tends to cause some "slack" around the areas of greater loss, this can lead to pain due to lose joints. Working the muscles groups around problematic joints can help tighten everything up, I had some pretty noticeable issues with my hips, and I found out I've got spinal arthritis, didn't know until the fat stopped protecting the nerves, I can feel it now though! With your rump, does it only hurt when sitting on something hard? Don't forget that you are losing a lot of "padding". Stretching and targeted work outs can help get everything back into place. 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct517 527 Posted October 22, 2018 Hmm. I have been having horrible back pain since surgery. I think it has to do with the shifting of weight or something.Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure how much weight I have lost since I am only on day 6 after surgery. I am just praying that it's not the start of shingles from all the stress of the operation. But you do give me another reason and that it could be a possibility of something else. Which is a relief!! Thanks for a possible explanation!Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Matt Z reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nedmanders 12 Posted October 22, 2018 I had surgery this 18th and over had back pain like a pulled muscle. I sorta chalked it up to the hospital bed and positions I tend to be in. Maybe it's actually referred pain, from the operation sites? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 22, 2018 You know I have such much chronic body pain I can't testify to whether I have more/less pain post- surgery. Anybody like my chronic arthritis? Selling it at a price even YOU can afford! Figure I can, cause I got it for FREE!😋 1 Kbridge reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 22, 2018 Stehan King is a strange bird, re-read the basic plot where people go to Needful Things, purchase their hearts desire and lose their souls in the process. Don't see a correlation between myself and that. Why do you ask? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted October 22, 2018 It’s a long time since I read it but it was interesting as sometimes a persons hearts desire was not simple, if I recall correctly one of the main characters was a good person but she had crippling arthritis in her hands. Your comment about selling yours brought the book to mind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 23, 2018 Yeah I think that character was Polly. My current 💖desire is to have my stoma stricture repaired so I can move on to a Better diet with more patience. But I promise never to ask Leland Gault for anything-- I would like to retain MY SOUL! 1 elcee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 27, 2018 Reading over this thread, good one Incidently, is my excruciating pain, mid back to left of spine, due to Dr Noria's atempt to manipulate and stretch my stoma to an acceptable opening and hopefully remaining open size? Thought it might be from the contortions to receive an endoscopy, But IDK, with how our nerves sense things, is it impossible or maybe acceptable? I would ask if there is anyone who has experienced this or am I out in the wilderness crying💦 all by myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
