Ive had minimal pain, just sore and tight. , but is there anything I can do to alleviate this lower back pain that seems to run across just above my incisions? Im walking upright a little more each day, I cant get comfortable sitting up upright or back. My butt is killing me sitting on it.

Answer: Back pain after body lift or tummy tuck Congratulations on completing your surgery! While it's difficult to speak to your specific case, I will say that I get patients after body lifts and tummy tucks with back pain like what you are describing that are helped tremendously with a short course of muscle relaxants. After these surgeries you can have pretty painful back spasm just from the new positions you find your self in while protecting your healing body. I would recommend you talk to your surgeon and get a quick exam to make sure there there is not another cause like a fluid collection or infection. Talk with him or her to evaluate you for muscle spasm. Hope this helps!

Answer: Low back pain Thanks for your question. Lower back pain is not an uncommon complaint after the surgery you underwent. Just to be sure you are not dealing with a complication, I would advise you to touch base with your surgeon for further evaluation. He/she may recommend a mild analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication that will make this more tolerable for you. Good luck
