Sjay Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi ladies, I'm just over 4 weeks post op and had a fairly good recovery, until now!... Got this really horrible lower back pain, as soon as I try and do anything after a few mins my back starts throbbing and I have to go lay down to try settle it:( anyone else experienced this??

Katewell Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Sure have , and yes lying down is only thing to relive it for me , I've just started side sleeping and this is helping too , it's because you over compensate those shoulders and pull in so back muscles are tight and over worked from not being in there normal position , just start some light stretches and I started Chiro at 3 weeks and been going every fortnight ,,,still waiting for pics ?

Sjay Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 That's a relief to hear ? It's been making me super anxious... I lost a very close friend 18 months ago and it's always at the back of my mind... All she had was this lower back pain and we lost her 4 months later - bowel cancer ?? sorry if this sounds really dramatic, just how my silly anxious brain works nowadays ? Don't think I'll ever be brave enough to post piccies on here ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katewell Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 im sad that your anxiety is that bad ,, life is short enjoy it ,because everything is a possibility but you can just enjoy it anyway ,don't let it rob you of the joy you do have xx Sjay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper9 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I had that too and found that a heat pack worked really well. barbalicious40 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prettyoriginal Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I had 2 titanium rods right through the length of my spine, with cross bars and screws put into my back 5 years ago to correct severe scoliosis.since then i usually have some mild back pain here and there but nothing severe. After my BA on Saturday I have been in a world of pain.. I went from the panadeine forte, to endones, and now these 50mg Durogesic patches that they give to cancer patients for pain! It's all making me feel terribly sick and I have Valium and anti nausea medicine to go along with it!walking into this I really didn't think my back issues would cause such a fuss, but I think like Katewell said, we are so tight that any pre existing back issues you might have are amplified by the tightness of our muscles .I can 100% empathise with you right now, and am hoping its not long until the tightness and pain subsides.I hope you are recovering well otherwise xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
