Hi all just wondering if anyone had back troubles at one year out?  Mine has been uncomfortable for like the past 4 months but all of a sudden its consuming me 24/7....constant pain...throbbing, burning and stabbing. Its right at my kidney so my PCP ran a MRI, did blood work, urine...everything and my kidney is fine...perfectly healthy on all accounts as far as they can tell....

So I started with a chiropractor this week he says my muscle is all in knots...but its not helping Im on heat then ice heat then ice all day long. He thinks maybe my weight loss is whats to blame...my mattress at home has me rolling to the middle so I have to crawl out...and he thinks maybe I walked a certain way with all that weight and maybe now Im over compensating.  Heck I dunno I just wondered if anyone else had this issue. Also has anyone had their gall bladder be the cause of back pain?  I know right about now at one year out we all supposidly will begin having trouble with our gall bladders.... Just wondering!

Pam, The morning Boyce took me to the e/r my main complaint was a backache.  It started in my upper back, both sides, and in a couple of hours I felt like I was being squeezed and had pain all the way around.  They did x-rays, an ultrasound and ct scan and decided it was my gall bladder.  It would not hurt to have yours checked, just in case.  Hope they find out what your pain is soon and you get some relief. Hugs, Janie

Hello neighbor, And yes... extreme pain in the back caused by a gallbladder attack Felt like at times someone was driving a spike through my back and taking my breath away.
