Have had back pain since surgery 8/6/02, found out why:

I couldn't take the pain any longer, (it is in the middle of my back, in the bra band area). I checked out this site and found that as an early post-op it could be trapped gas. That satisfied me. Then when it continued, I thought hey, I've lost alot of weight, maybe I need new bras....anyway, I tried all things to no avail. Finally I went to chiropractor, it turns out that I have two ribs out of place. This is fairly common in any surgery where they need to spread the rib cage. And to top it off losing weight as fast as we do also ups the risks of this. I just wanted to post this for anyone else out there that may be experiencing this. It will take about 8-10 appointments to correct it for me, but he could not believe that I made it this long without help. Good luck to anyone else with this pain. Hopefully this info is helpful.
