Lower back pain. more severe after being sitting. lost 80kg after bariatric surgery and have a hang pannus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: My hunch is you have wear and tear osteoarthritis from carrying around 80 kg x 2.2 lbs x 4 sticks of butter per pound or 704 sticks of butter around on you back for some time. Keep pain diary and discuss with you team. Congrats on weight loss. Back should be better over time. Go to uptodate.com and read more.
