I know that back pain is mostly a given with a lot of overweight people.
I have Spondylolisthesis, Parrs Defect x2 and Scoliosis. With these conditions comes degenerative disc disease, sciatica and A LOT of pain. Here is where it's a catch 21. Because of the excess weight and the back pain, I have a hard time exercising and simply walking and because I cannot exercise, I cannot lose the necessary weight to have te back problems fixed.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has had relief of symptoms/pain after they've lost the excess weight. I am also wondering what exercises you did at the start of your exercise program.
At present, walking causes extreme pain and I often have to stop just a few minutes into a walk.
Swimming is probaly the best exercise for me but I do not have access to a lap pool and I am not planning on joining a gym.
Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks,
D
