I am working on "coming back". I am still in pain, but coming to terms with it.... Better some days.... Exercise, in fact, any movement makes it worse, but I'm just trying to deal with it. I am realizing, once again, that diet is the most important part of losing weight. Exercise alone doesn't do it.
