I had surgery about 3 months ago and since then I get this on again off again sharp breathing pain in my lower back. When it comes on it hurts really bad. I have been to 3 different doctors and had a chest x-ray and chest cat-scan done and they don't see anthing. They don't think anythings serious is going on that that it is related to the surgery. They just tell me to take Motrin to make it go away. The pain is not constant, but it has been happening for almost 3 months and when it happens, it hurts really bad. Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what are your ideas?

Read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
Trigger points are knots in the muscles making them tight which in turn causes them to apply pressure to nerves and other places.

This could be because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Try exercising all parts of your body. It also sometimes is due to disuse atrophy. Consult a doctor if it persists. You can also look for information in the web. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html

How low on your back? What kind of surgery did you have?
