I’m so sorry to hear about all of your pain! Trust me I’m one in the number but since I’m losing weight; I can already tell a positive difference! My body feels some better! No it didn’t take away all of the pain but it helped! I’m so thankful! This itself will keep me pushing to lose more! No it’s not easy but it’s way better than giving up and added more weight to make the situation even worse!!

Continue to hold on because your BEST is yet to come!! Continue to fight!!! I’m proud of you!!!

Yes I got an injection in my right knee he didn't do the other one because I'm gonna have knee replacement surgery soon I'm doing the pre surgery things that they want me to do now I just can't wait till it's over he does want me to loose 10 more lbs which I lost some of it already
I'm still in pain but I'm just dealing with it because I want this surgery done with and yes my injections don't last long because my knees are severe and badly damaged there is nothing that can be done except surgery I've been dealing with this pain for so long I kinda just get use to it some days are worser than others
I hope your Sunday is going well I'm doing some housework little by little I'll get it done

Hey K!! Did you get your injection? It looks like I read that one injection in your leg only last 2 days? Are you serious?(I know you’re being honest! That’s just something that we say!

Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My injection in my left leg may last 2 days the other leg a little longer I've been counting down til my next one the day before Thanksgiving I'm gonna go earlier hoping they get me in sooner lol I can't even hardly walk baby steps the pain is a 20+ I had to leave my job because of the pain and I have severe balance issues
I was working in customer service they don't care about you just want you there so I retired but after my surgery I may look for a different job I miss working
I lost some weight but he didn't say how much I needed to loose he just said I need to loose a little weight but I'll find out next month
I hope all goes well with you and your appointments
You have a good evening
