Boo! I've been back on the treadmill for just 2 days and my pain has definitely increased. Not during or after I walk (at just 3mph and for only 20 minutes!), but the next day. I really feel like crying about it today. I have felt sooo much better in the last week or so, either from the ESI or the increased Neurontin, or both, that I can't believe 20 minutes on the treadmill is really causing me pain, but it appears to be true. The pain doctor advised me against any exercise to begin with, and I went a whole week with none. He then said I shouldn't do more than a mile or so a day, which is exactly what I'm doing, and the damn pain is returning. It's so hard for me to physically understand how walking on the treadmill is any different from normal everyday walking, but apparently it is. So now I'm really confused about what I should do. I HAVE to exercise to get this weight off -- I've been plateaued in a 3-4 pound range for the last two weeks, and I know the lack of exercise is part of it. Of course part of it is also my screwed up digestive system due to all the drugs I'm on, which I'm trying to fix with Benefiber, etc., but so far, not much luck. Gah!! I'm so frustrated!! I see my GP next week and then the pain MD the week afterwards, but I'm going to be a complete mess if I have to go until then with this situation. This sucks!!
