Thx again Sherry... It may sound crazy, but I don't know why I am in so much pain. I don't have insurance, & have only been to a dr. to determine my eligibility for disability. He said that more extensive tests would have to be done to determine why I am having such severe pain through my back & pelvis.Without a dr. I cannot get anything to help me with the constant pain. One guess with the pain in my pelvis, is that I've gotten adhesions from the c-section. I had a lot of difficulty w/ it, & the dr. had to take out 5 staples, leaving me w/ an open wound that my hubby had to pack with gauze 2x a day for 3 wks. I still feel where I was cut, it pains me when I move certain ways, or have been moving about too much. As far as my back, I'm not sure what it might be, there could be a number of reasons why-- I just know it's tremendously impacted my life.
I have an exercise video in a box somewhere that I'm trying to find- lotsa stuff in boxes ANYHOW, it has Susan Powter's low impact aerobics on it, which you can do at your own pace, and can be modified for one's fitness level. She has some clients that do their exercise from a chair & that may be what I have to do until I get some of this weight off,(hoping that weight is the reason why my back is hurting so bad). I'm not without any activity, as I do have an 11 mo. & a son who is 22 yr. old who has cerebral palsy,who needs 100% total care, so I am not a couch potato.Some days tho, it is hard as hell & I cry I am in so much pain,another reason to get smaller.Before I had the baby, I could lift our son with no problem, (he weighs 120#), but hubby made me stop when I was pg, and I lost alot of my strength. I got HUGE when I was pg and I do mean HUGE (for me anyhow) but that's another story , another post. I am wanting to start a journal,as I see how wonderful ppl are in responding to others in here with help... thx... I got to get my son outta bed... will be back l8r... and thx again Sherry... *hugs:
