A new day

Today was shot day at pain Management for my back, the Dr ask if my back felt any better from weight loss, I said no, that is just a myth lol, he said he would set me up with physical therapy in a pool on a treadmill, it's worth a shot, he said it would feel better while doing it but then I will hurt for two weeks after because I will be using muscles I never used before but I figured it should be good exercise

I'm sorry to hear you have gotten no relief from your weight loss. Where is your pain located? Mine was in my lower back and has disappeared. I have degenerated disc and arthritis. I never did get relief from the injections. I'll be thinking of you as you go through PT. It can be rough.

I'm sorry your back hurts. I think the splashing around in water could be fun.

The shots work really well on my lower back, but it does wear off after a while but I'm glad for the time that it helps, I also get shots in my center of my back between my shoulder blades and neck I just started that a few months ago and it didn't last as long as my lower back, but I'm hoping it last longer this time, I could use a whole new back lol
 
I had PT before I started the shots about two years ago and it did nothing for me, and they told me they could fix me, I left there crying because they said in the end that they couldn't help me, ugh, but this is a different kind of therapy, so I'm not expecting miracles especially after last time, but going to try and think positive that it will work
