I literally can't stand for more than say 10 or 15 minutes

without having excruciating pain in my lower back (on which I

recently had surgery). I also can't go to stores or anything and

walk around, or else I get into very excruciating pain.

Cathy,

You voiced my concerns exactly, too.

I haven't had my surgery, yet, but I know that

there is no way I can go to the gym or exercise

too much -- I have 4 ruptured discs in my lower

back and a left knee that is shot. Plus, I have

chf which leaves me short of breath, so I am not

sure what I will do, either.

Ladies. I feel for you both. I myself have 3 herniated disk, arthritis

of the spine and a collapsed vertebra so I too know the meaning of the

words back pain. I've lost a total of 84 lbs so far and believe me it

has made a wold of differance. I can walk farther and can actually sit

for close to two hours at a time (with pain medication of course). Just

know that the more weight we lose the less pressure on our poor backs.

Perhaps a physical therapist can help you find something comfortable for your

situation.
