Gina as I wrote yesterday the "psoas" muscle could be causeing you back pain from position they put you in at surgery.But I'm sure your PT has looked into that. I have heard that adhesions can cause back pain. Either referred or directly attached to a back muscle. Why not they attach everywhere else. Take care everyone, and I'm goin to run out an exercise when I can't even clean my house! I have many fiends who give me advise like that "if you would only walk each day" There talking out there noses. They have no idea what we're talking about. I have a friend that has had adhesions for years and a long time ago she tried to explain it to me but I did't understand and thought she was one of those people that have to have something wrong!! What a putts I was and a judgemental fool. Same as my fiends today. Thanks JJ
