Back aches ???????

I am 6 weeks post op ( 02/25/2004 ) and have lost 51 lbs so far. I have been having back pain lately in the middle of my back after being on my feet for awhile. I am getting all my protein and fluid in daily and I am excersizing regularly ( treadmill, back to work, etc. ) Anyone else have this problem? It feels like my back just needs " cracked " but can't get it to " crack ".

John, I had the same thing when I was just past 1 month, it seemed like I was always asking for my husband and my son to rub my back, it wouldn't crack it but it felt just out of whack. I am at 8 weeks out now and can't remember when the back pain went away. I chalked it up to my body trying to get the center of gravity readjusted after the rapid weight loss, but it does get better.

John, it could definitely be related to the weight loss and your body/spine going thru a readjustment period. Hope it goes away soon for you. Mary

sometimes i feel aches in different places. i did go thru that back not cracking thing too... weird. right now i think i have shin splints.... they hurt fierce.

Hi John, I had it too for quite a while, I'm 10 weeks out and it doesn't seem to bother me any more. It might not be a bad idea to call your Dr.'s office and ask just to be safe. Hope it gets better, Eileen

I am 6 weeks post op. I have the same problems. I sure hope it goes away soon or I am going to see a Chiropractor. RNY - 03/01/04 (285)258/219/130

I'm also having the exact same problem. I cant remember the last time my back hurt this bad, from about the middle down to my lower back. It makes me feel better to know that others are having this problem as well, I was starting to think that there was something wrong with me. I hope we all feel better soon! -Laura Harms RNY 02-26-04 (430)386/335/???
