question: I jut got back from going to a clinic with severe back pain. The doctor at the clinic prescribed Tylenol 2 and an anti-inflammatory. I had bariatric by pass surgery one year ago and I remember them telling me something about not being able to take anti-inflammatory meds ever again. I have not gone to get the prescriptions filled yet, instead I came home because I was going to wait until tomorrow to call my family doctor to see if it s okay to take the medications that the clinic doctor prescribed. He also told me to go see a chiropractor and or get a massage, he said my back is out of line. He also gave me a prescription to go for physio-therapy. He also recommended that I get a bone density test to see if I have developed osteo-arthritis. My back is very sensitive to touch and my husband tried to rub an ointment on it last night and I was in too much pain so he had to stop. Any suggestions? I don t know what I can take for the pain since I had the gastric bypass surgery. Would appreciate any knowledge that you might have on this subject. Thanks so much. Sincerely, Karen
