Back Pain?

I was wondering if anyone else has back pains after WLS? Seems like mid-afternoon my back starts hurting, standing or sitting. I never had this before and wondering if it maybe a WLS side effect.

Ah, that's where my back pain went. I have 2 ruptured disks and after losing the weight, following RNY, I have noticed that my back and knees do not hurt near as bad. Now I have been having a lot of pain in my shoulders that I never had before. Perhaps I didn't notice them before because of my back knee and foot pain. Otherwise who's shoulder pain is missing? I found it!

I honestly can't tell if it's the same or worse since dropping tonage. I know after standing for a period of time and walking long distances it definitely pains me. I'm not sure if it's vertibre or muscles. I know when they tried to give me the spinal block for surgery they tried seven times and couldn't get through, so they could well be compressed.

I have a primarily desk job, and found by afternoon my a$$ is killing me! Sort of a tailbone issue I think. Granted, I have lost my natural padding, so I have attributed it to that. I find I have to get up and walk it off - and it takes quite some time to feel better.

On the other hand, my knee pain is 99% gone - weather changes still appear occasionally, and I have had no real mid back pain since I lost my first 30 pounds.

One more weird thing - I find I still walk like I have a weight in the front of me - sort of hunched over. I am consiously trying to correct my posture.

I konw about the tailbone, mine hurts all the time. I wish I could figure out how to fix the back pain.

I had the same back pain.  It was a core muscle problem.  Not the big core muscles, but all the small ones were being overworked.  Went to a physical therapist and she gave me some very easy exercises that cleared it up in about 2 months.

I have more back and hip area pain than before surgery. I think it may be the rapid weight loss has thrown me off balance and my body is adjusting. It happens especially when I stand for long periods of time.
