I too have back pain, mine is low. I ended up with a "total hysterectomy" many years before my last Lysis of Adhesions and my lower back pain started after that surgery and this is pain I had not had before my adhesions were removed this time. It was explained to me as this (this explanation came from three unrelated doctors): my adhesions had involved my GI tract extensively and once the adhesions were removed my intestines were "freed" and dropped down and back which is "normal" after a hysterectomy BUT as this happened parts of my intestine adhesed to the back of my pelvic wall, I continue to experience most of my pain in the lower back and this pain radiates down both legs often. Please be aware that I went through every test possible and when they all came back negative all three doctors agreed on the explanation above. I wish I could give you a "cure" for the pain but the only thing that eases my pain is medication and a heating pad. I wish you pain free days.
