Abdominal Separation Causing Back Pain

September 11, 2010
Asked By:FrostedCupcakes in Southern,NH

So I'm 22 years old, and have had two children in the past 3 years, my youngest is 4 months. I just went to my doctor for chronic lower back pains (I also have scoliosis, so any back pain kills), and I was told this was due to my abdominal muscle separation. Do I need to have a tummy tuck to repair this? And would it be covered by insurance (Medicaid) since it's causing medical problems for me? If not, is there any way to finance with my bad credit?
