Hi thickntired, yeah I feel like my doctors have mostly been knuckleheads. But I wish I had been smarter and done some research on things myself. Still, doctors should care about their patients.
I lost the weight as a combination of stress and yes i was more mobile and walking more. Moving here I have to walk to the stores and carry everything. I wasn't bad really with pain this spring come to think of it, but recently I think my body just is retaliating at me overeating and gaining weight. I am still going to insist on a mri, because this just isn't normal losing control of bowels (told him months ago), and the extreme pain after any walking or anything.
Thanks for listening.
You've been through so much after that car accident. Have you had any surgeries? I'm guessing most of those things surgery wouldn't help or it is too risky.
Yes I think walking with this extra weight on really made things worse too. I could blame myself for being heavy for too many years but that doesn't help. Meds and not having good doctors had alot to do with it.
