Anyone have back pain from all the weight loss? I'm assuming it's normal, but how long will it last? I already lost all the padding on my butt so sitting is extremely painful (more reasons to exercise I guess since I can't sit lol) but my back and hip also hurts. Doctor says it's normal...

I had a lot of belly and a generous booty for ballast :} so.. what I realized when my back started hurting was my posture was still pretty swayback.

So, even now, when my back (lower) starts to ache, I need to remember to tuck my pelvis in and that helps a lot!

I had some rear flank/hip pain at about 75-80lbs gone. I went to the chiropractor who was able to help relieve the pain without heavy meds (massage, heat, icy hot type stuff, etc). It was a great help. Thankfully my insurance covers 7 chiro visits a year.

Ive been thinking about a chiro visit even though my insurance doesn't cover it. I'll see how it does in a couple weeks, but man...it's a different kind of back pain than I had at 400+ lbs, but I still don't like it :-p

I have been wondering the same thing, my hips have been hurting for a week now. I don't know if it is because I am walking different since my thighs are smaller so my legs are closer together? or is it the fact that I am crossing my legs more?

but some days I am limping

My back hurt for a solid 3-4 months after getting to goal. Unfortunately, I have never lost the hip and knee pain. Grant it, I have arthritis in my left knee and hip so the damage is done already. The chronic pain is gone, but I still ache right before it rains, or after exercising. The doctors all say that it's very normal.

Had some serious lower back pain a while back, my cranio sacral therapist (my mom

) said it was likely my body was adjusting to the weight loss and trying to "move into place" with the new weight/height ratio I have. Stretching helped a lot, as does working on your core.

Just my experience so far. Hope you're feeling better soon!

My back, joints, plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) pains and aches all went away after WL.

Edit: I now get butt bone pain.

LOL most of my aches and pains (especially the plantar fasciitis TG!) have gone away.

I have major butt bone pain and still have about 100 lbs to go !!!! I'm in serious trouble. I've decided that I'll have to get a butt implant along with the boobs....

Yes, same experience I see written here. Once my belly fat was reduced significantly, I was slouching, poor stomach muscles and back muscles.

It's getting better but i have to constantly be mindful of how I'm standing. Each day it gets a little easier to hold myself up straight.
