I've had low back pain and 3 major back surgeries. I'm not over weight by < 15lbs. I've had 2 children. The last one a c-section. I've had no relief from my back pain from injections, PT, or surgery. I have increasing pain level between 5-8. I can't work or even really enjoy life. Can a tummy tuck relieve some of my back pain.
