Does Anyone Else Here Have Arthritis In Their Back And Knees? If So, What Treatments Have Worked For You?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Meridian, MS

I have arthritis in my back that has been treated with injections. I've even had the nerve endings in the L3-L5 region in my back burned and had a cortisol shot in my s1 region. The swelling is gone, but not the pain. My knees have been left untreated. The pain gets unbearable at times, but my doctor only says lose weight. I've told her several times that I'm usually an active person, but pain makes me not want to be active. I need relief. Any suggestions. I've already considered… read more

Is There Any Exercises I Can Do After Neck Surgery?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Maryville, TN

I had neck surgery in 2015 and to this day I am still having problems.I have rods and screws in my neck. I was told I would not be able to raise my arms above my head, therefore lifting weights is not possible. I know I need to exercise, but my muscles stay in a state of tightness and spasms from my neck to my shoulders.

Has Anyone Tried Hypnotherapy For Weight-loss

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

I realise that my inability to lose weight is psychological. I've been through a lot of therapy over the years and we've identified the sources and triggers. But even though I am aware of my triggers and emotional eating and secret eating habits, I just can't seem to get into the mindframe of "now I will only eat clean and healthy", "no more bingeing" etc. The big irony is that I do really enjoy eating healthy, but I also go and eat lots of rubbish.

Has anyone tried hypnotherapy to help deal… read more

A MyObesityTeam Member

I don't believe in Hypnosis. But,I do know people have tried it before.
