Back Pain?

So.. since I was in the hospital I have had on and off back pain. Presurgery , even at 316 pounds I never had a back issue. I was stuck in recovery for 6 hours on my back since there was an influx of emergencies which took up the rooms.

Anyway It hadn't been bad but yesterday it was really bothering me, today I figured I would put on my sports bras and take a leisurely walk to the library with my 4 year old, by the time I got home I though I was going to die! I took off my sports bras and laid down and took Tylenol since I was going to have to drive, when I got up an hour later to take my son to preschool I tried a different bra and took him out and then sat on my heating pad when I got home. After I picked him up we did a little running around and again by the time I got home it was killing me!  I took one of the medications they gave me for pain which helped but leaves me a bit zombified.

I am having little to no issue with the inscision sites or stomach its just my back. I plan on asking at my follow up appointment on the 25th but I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue?

I've had chronic for years. Laying on your back that long can definitely hurt.

Ask your surgeon when can go see a Chiropractor. That's what helps me. Also ask your surgeon if it's okay for you to use StopPain. It's just menthol - no NSAIDS, no Aspirin. It's a rollon and you only use it where you have pain.

I hope you feel better soon.
