So I had surgery on the 6th of September to remove my gallbladder. I had been so sick for 4 months - lost 20 lbs - so thank God it's finally out.
Over the weekend I started to experience extremely bad back pain. I have herniated discs in my back, but they have been fine for years! The pain goes all the way from the top of my tush to my shoulders and it's on the left side mostly. I have taken pain meds/muscle relaxers and nothing is really helping. I am walking like a hunch back and literally using my heating pad all day to just get some relief. I didn't do anything after surgery - as my recovery has been difficult being that my hemoglobin dropped extremely low in the hospital and I had to stay there for 3 days after surgery getting iron infusions, fluids, etc. to help me get it back up. It finally went to a stable number and I was allowed to leave, but my GI says I now need weekly infusions. So I'm waiting for my insurance to clear that. (They're so wonderful when you really need things. Bleh!)
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this? What was the cause and what did you do?
TIA!
