Ugh not going to be able to get out & Go dancing or even just walking for about 3 week's unfortunately I just found out because my Left leg was on fire & hurting me , so OF COURSE I went to my PCP & She did X-rays & We found out I have athoritus all in my legv& on my tendons , might have fibromyalgia but we're not testing that yet , so now I'm having to apply for Disability & I already planned & got my tickets for vacation to Louisiana & Texas before this happened , but I'm still going my Boy's will help me , it will all be good.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you get relief soon.

so sorry to hear about your leg.. I know my legs ache like bursitis since I lost weight. I have been going to yoga and light exercise classes seems to help but not sure why that happened since I lost weight? I haven't asked my pcp about it yet but will probably have to. I have to take Tylenol arthritis formula every day . I hope yours is resolved and you do not have fibromyalgia.

Well as everyone should or probably knows , when WE WERE HEAVIER it took a toll on our bodies & I guess this caught up with mine , it is starting to get better & I am being able to walk again but I'm not able to walk or dance like I was but I WILL get there soon.

sorry to hear Deb. I didn't know they could test for Fibromyalgia. I've titrated off Cymbalta (for pain, not depression) and am starting Lyrica soon..which is for fibromyalgic pain..but I've never actually been diagnosed... It's always 'inflammatory pain'..

Leg finally getting better now I have to find out my results from a C.T. scan I had done because of stomach & pelvic pain not anything to do with my band thank goodness then I will be traveling on the Amtrak train for vacation next weekend to Louisiana & Texas for about a week.

So glad things are going well for you Debbie and Joe. I'm a bit miserable these days I'm sorry to say.

I'm happy with my fellow but work is very stressful. All I know is that I've crept up 15 lbs. over the last few months even with two fills and just now, I put on a pair of jeans that after a wash and tumble in the dryer, are uncomfortably tight. I'm so disappointed in myself. I said I'd never let this happen and now I'm close to having to slip into a bigger size because of the weight gain.

I need to get another fill, and go back to basics...even go back to tracking my food intake again. I know what to eat and what not to, I just am not following the plan that helped me to lose the weight. I'm posting here rather than on the main site....I need my support and no comments from people who don't know my story and struggle.

The one thing I'm not going to do is disappear. I think alot of people do when they fall off the wagon and folks need to know how hard...really hard maintenance is even with surgery.
