Topic: Post-op Back Pain?
I've been having a lot of back pain that I've never had before.. That was the one thing that I complained about after my surgery and it has continued.. I know early post-op that is has to do with positioning during surgery, but 3 months out it still hurts on a daily basis.. Also my left knee hurts a lot too.It's like a throbbing pain that last for like 15-20minutes then stops.. Before I had knee pain after standing for long periods, but now it's like out of no where it will just start hurting.. The knee pain I can deal with cause it doesn't happen all the time, but my back hurts everyday. I'm going to ask Dr. Dolan about it, but I really don't know what can be done.. I thought taking weight off was supposed to help with back & joint pain not make it worse.. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?

Welcome. When my mother was in the Army we were stationed at Baumholder. We lived in Wetzel. I went to Baumholder American High School. Good luck to you with your surgery. I just had my last Friday.

Welcome home, Gas x strips are a wonderful thing. I don't think that I couldget through that first week without them. Hope this helps, Layla

Thanks. I have definitely been taking the pain med. every 4 hours like clockwork. That pain last night was unbearable. I am really tired though. So I am taking things pretty slow. Thanks for thinking of me.
