Question:
Has anyone experience your back being score after surgery

I had surgery two weeks ago. A day after surgery I notice my back was real score like my side of my stomach. My docotor said it was due to surgery. I was wondering if anybody else back was real score and last as long as two weeks.    — barfiep01 (posted on January 30, 2007)

I had terrible body aches beginning the day after surgery, I think it was due to the anesthesia. It only lasted for 2 days and then I felt great!

I had the same prob and it was due to the table we lay on during surgery and then sittin in the hospital bed. Mine only lasted about a week after surgery.

I had lots of back pain for about the first week after! So much that I couldn't get comfortable to sleep. I even tried sitting up to sleep. I was exhausted yet everything hurt my back. It does go away thank God..it just takes alittle bit

I am also two weeks out and ,am still having the same type of pain. The doctor says it's normal and will go away at some point. I have been taking Tylenol during the day and use a heating pad at night. Please let me know if you find a quick fix to help relief the pain..

I had the back pain you are discribing too. Are you walking? That is what worked for me. I had my surgery 1/22 and have walked five miles at the mall since surgery. My doctor had me up walking often at the hospital and I haven't set very still since I got home. I went back to my four hour part time job on Monday of this week. I know mine was gas pains from the surgery and I could feel the relief from walking. I hope this helps.

I ended up getting a hand held massager.. cost 9 bucks at walgreens.. runs off of 3 aaa batteries.. it massaged the air bubbles .. reminances from the surgery.. they pump you full of co2 when you do surgery.. so that they can get in there.. and when they vacume it out.. they miss some.. but if you massage it out and burp as much as possible it fixes within a small amount of time.. also a heat pad to sleep on at night helps. I am one week out and before I left the hospital.. they kicked me out cause I was doing so well two days after surgery.. I had gotten out all the bubbles and the doctors wanted to order some of the hand held massagers for the hospital... hope that helps

I had the worse back pain for about a week. The heating pad helped a lot. Also my husband massaged it every day. It does get better, hang in there.

Sorry, totally forgot about something...until I read one of the posts..I have a massager chair..for the computer..That helped soo much. Not that I reccommend going out and buying one..but it sure made a difference.
