weird pain in my back

hi.

I'm about 7 weeks out and doing fine. I recently noticed I have a weird pain in my middle upper back. Kind of right in the lower middle of my shoulder blades, right behind where my stomach/sleeve is. I don't have any pain eating and have not thrown up even once since surgery. So I'm not even sure if this is related to my sleeve. It comes and goes and doesn't seem to be timed to eating. But when I've been standing for any period of time it starts to get pretty bad. I've never had upper back problems before...lower back is trashed though.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Again, not sure this is sleeve related but thought I'd check with the board.

thanks.

I agree with the commenter above...call the doc, especially if it comes on with eating. whenever i have intense heartburn pain it radiates to that area of my back.
