Welcome to this forum! Thank you for asking about my back. I went to a massage therapist who told me it was not a muscular problem but a skeletal problem and so I am seeing a chiropractor and the pain is just mild now so I can walk, etc. I have been on my treadmill twice and have lifted light weights starting off slow. I am 70% back to normal. One thing I have noticed is that I am snacking since the pain is gone. My oh my, how quickly I have forgotten that my being overweight compounded the pain. I've got to stay on track with the dieting and exercise.

I'm sorry to hear that your health condition ended in a hospitalization. You are absolutely right about being in denial about how dangerous binge eating is especially if you have been yo-yo-ing for years. We will do everything we can to support you here.
