Could my previous tummy tuck be the cause of my back pain? 4 years post op
n2jesus87Jun 28, 2023
I had a tummy tuck in the summer of 2019. At the time I was 5'10 and 220 pounds. I looked and felt great. However, exactly one year post-op, my back started hurting. The pain is in my left lower back somtimes hip area. It even shoots down my leg. My life has been ruined due to this pain. I have not been able to work out and can hardly walk. Is there any chance my tummy tuck caused this pain? If so, is there anything I can do to get relief? I have seen back doctors and PTs with no luck.
