I have lost so much muscle tone, and things are sagging! What we are doing does affect our breasts and rear end, let me tell you. Last night I did four of each without weights - squats, and arm moves, and calf raise. It did increase my pain a bit, but it made me feel better. But now that I have a hernia on the right side, I guess I shouldn't be using weights anyway.
Donna, no I was allergic to the med. I was hoping it was something else, but it wasn't. She put me on a new med right away, that is similar so compatible and I could start it right away. Unfortunately, I was allergic to it too, and the allergy became worse. I was at Urgent Care a week ago getting a steroid shot. It makes me wonder if I might have tolerated the second med, if I had gotten over the reaction first, and waiting until the rash and swelling went away. But who knows! I'm starting a new med, but I'm waiting until Monday. I don't want to have a reaction over the weekend again.
However, I discovered the steroid is a great pain reliever, even better than my original meds. Steroids don't usually work for nerve pain, so I guess my issue is inflammation, because it relieved most of my pain. So I've been doing okay this week. However, I stop taking it next week, so am hoping the new med kicks in by then.
