Answer: Back pain after tummy tuck surgery There are so many conditions that can result in back pain. Back pain after tummy tuck surgery is common for the first couple weeks after surgery. Usually patients are asked to remain hunched to prevent stretch and pull on the fresh repair site. There are so many potential factors, without a consultation it would be impossible to presume. Common causes include:Herniated discMuscle spasms with referred back painTight hip flexors resulting in strain on the backEtcEtcI hope you start feeling better soon.

Answer: Back pain after a tummy tuck Back pain after a tummy tuck is common in the first two weeks when the patient is asked to stay hunched over, however it usually goes away after that time. The muscle tightening that takes place doesn't really affect your back and shouldn't be responsible for the prolonged back pain you're suffering. It is possible something else is going on and if you are concerned, speak to your family doctor about a proper workup.

Answer: Backache after abdominoplasty You have asked some specific questions regarding the relationship of muscle repair to back pain. Repair of muscle separation of the abdominal muscles has been shown to improve pre-existing back pain in patients not produce back pain to my knowledge. An examination and evaluation will be necessary by your treating physician is in order. My experience is that back pain is common during recovery due to the patient lying on her back for prolonged periods. Humans prefer to sleep on the side (usually the left).

Answer: Back ache from TT? The most likely reason for your back ache is continuing to favor your stomach muscles, because they were tightened. This usually get better in 4-6 weeks. At 10 weeks it should be much better unless you are still favoring your stomach muscles. See your surgeon, because it is possible something else is going on. Make sure you are standing straight up, because bending over puts undue stress on your back.
