Back pain/ soreness/ can't keep vitamins down!
I am 5 weeks out and have had pain in the middle of my back. I and had two massages, and been to the chiropractor twice ! The pain only happens when I stand or sit for too long. Also my stomach is still tender? Every now and then I have sharp pains in one area? Am I still healing? Also I need help with ideas on how to not throw up my vitamins!! Grrrrrrrr
Any answers ?

Yikes,
I'd suggest talking to the surgeon about the pain. that's not good.
I couldn't stomach my vitamins at first, either. My NUT suggested crushing them and mixing them into some plain Greek yogurt. I enjoy the sweet, creamy treat every morning and evening, so I am still doing it, even though I don't need to anymore.
I hope you feel better soon.
best wishes,
Carol

Call your surgeon. Right now. Back pain is a symptom of lots and lots of different things, and your surgeon is the best person to ask - not us!
As for vitamins - are you taking them with food?
