Post-op back, anyone else?

Hi everyone, I am 10 days out from a Lap RNY. Most of my pain is getting better day by day. My back is another story. I have terrible pain about mid way up my back, it usually comes on after a few minutes of standing. My surgeon says he hears of this occasionally and it just takes time to resolve, says its because of the tugging during surgery on the intestines which are attached to part of the back's inner wall. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it last? Thanks so much-Heather
