I am now nearly 4 months out from removal surgery. I am wondering if others experience back pain and spasms as a result of this operation.

I have not seen it on the list but I had none prior to surgery wondering if its common.

I did not have that sort of issue, but I could see it as an SE of a 20mg per day Cialis plan, as larger doses of Cialis for multiple days cause me lower back pain (I do the 5 mg per day, and had to stop during RT).

Not a side affect I hear about. I'd give the surgeon's office a call just to error on the side of caution.

Likely it's nothing or will go away in time but might be worth a phone call.

Weak stomach muscle area was the answer. Told if I work those my back pain should reduce and / or go away. I have a 40 pound 3 YO I gotta lug around sometimes and you need to be tip top to have small kids they never stop moving.

Kinda makes sense as I don't really do much there yet as they feel like they are ripping when I do but they said totally normal just work it out muscles are healed by now and the tearing sensation will ebb after a day or two and is common.

around my house, we call that "grandpa back." The little ones are cute and like to be picked up but this grandpa is starting to have say, "you're getting too big for grandpa to pickup."

sometimes they like being called, "big" and sometimes they just need a hug.
