Hi Everyone,
I had my take down completed in 1984.
Two years ago it was discovered that my pouch is not in the physical shape it should be (it is big and over stretched).
Recently my back started hurting and the pain is quite high at times (level 10 pain). At rest it still hurts, but more like a 2 pain level. My back spasms quite often and this is where the intense pain comes from. The only relief is to lye down or sit.
I had an MRI done and it appears that I have a pinched nerve (L3-L4) in my back.
I am told that this problem has nothing to do with my inestines.
I believe that my back problems started with my pouch, as it feels like something in my pouch is pushing against something it shouldn't. I say this becuase having a bowel movement (or even passing air) relieves the pain.
Does anyone know if it is indeed possible that problems with my pouch have led to my current back woes?
Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Solomin
