loosing weight when you have horrendous back pain

by froggypsalmist, Jul 04, 2008 09:00PM
hi, i have written about the horrendous back pain i have been going through, and well hoping someone can help me in this area also, i do have a thyroid problem which i know slows things down, but i was wondering what kind of exericse and diet has worked for others who can barely walk or sit for any length of time. sometimes just putting my feet to the floor causes sharp pain up my back! i have to get weight off i am over 70 overweight and am absolutely miserable, most of weight has been since all the back trouble started. i had neck surgery 4 yrs ago, and it help the first year, but i have gone down hill since. am having trouble working due to pain. if anyone can offer suggestions, especially what can help me get weight off quickly to help the strain on my back, i would appreciate. thanks.
