Pre op, starting as a teenager when I wasnt that overweight, I had back and knee pain so bad I was in the er more timea than I can count, especially for my back. So of course gaining 100 lbs didnt help. Im down 70lbs and only 40 to go but my back and knees are actually WORSE than before. I know damage done is damage done but I figured id still somewhat improve. Daily I am in so much pain by the end of the night I am.crying or stuck in bed or on the couch. So my question is has anyone gotten worse pain since losing the weight? If so what options did you have? I am hoping when I get home, I will get sometging better than lidacane patches and capsaicin cream

This sounded strange to me but I'll share. My friend had her surgery over three years ago. She lost 153 lbs in 10 months. She said her surgeon told her to expect skeletal pain because everything was relieved of the pressure and the changes caused the pain. She has no pain now and she is 55,

Hopefulky something to look forward to then! I know my back is going to be bad because I have scoliosis in my lower back by my tailbone and a nerve going through it pinches no matter what but my tailbone always feels bruised like Ive been sitting for days and the upper back just feels compressed. Its absolutely miserable
