I am a 37 year old wife and mother just this past year i have been diagnosed with stenosis of the spine and a facet def. in my lower lumbar spine and my s1 it causes a lot of pain that i have to see a pain specialist. It has gotten so bad that my job that i was doing is no longer a possibility for me i had to switch to a desk job then i found out that i have severe arthritis in my knees so walking up and down stairs is rediculous i have bercititus in both of my hips i know it doesnt help that i weight 260 lbds. i have lost 20 but since these diagnoses it has been impossible to walk for a long period of time. I seriously need some help or some kind of motivation. I even went as far as to consider gastric bypass but my insurance has turned me down twice. I  joined weight watchers  only lost 5 pounds. I would take any advice that you can offer thank you Nichole Schreiber.
