Back Pain
I am 3 weeks out from surgery and my back has been killing me the last few days. Has anyone else had this problem after surgery? I am wondering if my body is having a problem compensating for 43 lb loss in 6 weeks.

I have suffered from back pain for as long as I can remember. The first few months after surgery it actually got worse instead of better. The weight loss (for me) definitely affected the way I walked, sat, stood and slept.
As much as I thought chiropractic was a bit 'out there', I tried and it did help.
Hopefully things settle down for you soon.

I have a history of back pain but this just seems to be nagging! I think a chiropractor might be my next step, I am sure that my posture will be changing a lot in the next few months.
Thank you Kristie

Hey Lu,
You aren't alone with the back pain! I've always suffered from a fair amount, but now at 5 months out, I've had some of the worst back pain ever. I see a massage therapist once a week, as well as a chiropractor once a week, which I've just recently started. He says from the amount of weight I've lost, its changed my posture quite a lot, and one of my ribs is actually out of alignment.. causing huge amounts of pain.
I've been for 4 visits so far, so I can't say yet whether or not its helping.. I have noticed some improvement, however that is completely reversed once I'm back at work. I hope if you go, it'll help you out :) maybe try massage therapy too? I always find that makes my back much happier :)

Maybe you need to go see Dr Shawna Green? She does a lot of deep tissue work and is highly recommended by several members nof our group.
