    pain in back to lower knee :(

    I was referred to our pain clinic due to my arthritis but they want me to do 6-78th weeks of physical therapy and pay a bunch of money I dont have to then have a trial go off deadening a nerve in my back then if that helps thry will do it every 6 months. If I had money coming out my ears I would be talking to a dr about relief... Thank you for the reply though I will look up what I can!!

    pain in back to lower knee :(

    Thank you for your reply. I will look into that!
  4. Ok so I have a question... I was told by 3 drs before surgery that after I lost a significant amount of weight my back would feel so much better... well they lied. I am 30 with a pretty nasty case of arthritis in my lower left back. I still push through the pain and walk a mile or two 4-5 times a week. Usually the pain is manageable until the morning. I wake up with horrible hip, back and leg pain in both sides. It hurts to straighten my legs or walk on them. The pain has gotten worse. People are now trying to tell me that because I have lost so much 73#s that my bed is all wrong and its from nerves being exposed and laying on my side makes it worse. I can actually feel my hip bones now and I am a side sleeper. I wish I had money for a new bed but I cant get rid of the one I have my mom paid $1600 for it 2 years ago. Its a pillow top mattress. Just curious has anyone else had problems like this. Any advice on relief. I can not sleep on my stomach or back I am already taking pain meds for my arthritis.. I am thinking I might have to break down and see a Dr for it. But they always tell me its nothing. Having my gall bladder out on the 12th also. Thanks for reading sorry it was so long. Feels like no one understands. Highest weight 322 Starting weight 307 Surgery weight 297 Current weight 235 Goal weight 195

    More Pre-op Questions....

    I definitely recommend premier Protein. That is all I could drink.. I am 6 months out and the first week I had a little buyers remorse but only because of the nasty liquid meds. They were so hard for me to choke down and felt like they were burning my throat and I literally barely slept for a week. But I would do it again in a heart beat. I also couldn't drink straight Water. I still have a hard time I drink power are zero and crystal light. Hope you have a smooth recovery. Good luck !!!
  12. Eating late at night... I eat very little but good for me stuff during the day but consume 75% of my calories at night.... frustrating.

Crazy that even friends and family wete in denial about how big I was.. I posted it on facebook and got soooo many responses but most were that wasn't you. I don't remember you being that big...

    anybody else have gallbladder issues?

    Thanks. I am making an appt with my dr. It doesn't hurt constantly but enough to make me want to get it checked out and if I have to have it out I'm hoping they can do it before the new year... already met deductible for this year.
