Question:
7 months post op - back pain

I am 7 months post op - down 118 lbs - I had upper left sided back pain at 2-3 months and this subsided - For the last month this pain has re-occurred - There is burning, itching associated with this pain - no visible signs of reddness on the skin at this site - could I have adhesions from my surgery - It seems that it is more difficult to maintain posture than it used to be - Thanks    — sandra L.

I know that we have a tendency to think that all of our medical symptoms are related to our surgery (maybe because so many of our pre-op maladies were either really, or were just, attributed to our being overweight), but this could be just about anything. I say if it's recurring, you should check with a doc (either your surgeon or your PCP, or maybe both).
