I had a tummy tuck. I am experiencing back spasms. Is this normal? Should I take a muscle relaxer?

Question

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your tummy tuck.  As a result of being flexed at the waist it is very common for patients to experience back spasms.  Often just walking around can improve these symptoms but I would leave any medication use to your doctor's discretion.  Hope this helps.
