dbbonoso 14 Posted April 17, 2019 Have any of you guys experience this? I've been in sooo much pain this last month, I'm 3 months post op. They told me not to take any pain medication. But what am I supposed to do then 🤦Sent from my LM-V405 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domi 237 Posted April 17, 2019 I had a lot of joint pain after I started losing weight. I think as you lose weight your body begins to move around and change so things hurt. I kept walking every day and started swimming and I now no longer have pain. I also went and had a few massages. I think I just needed to make my self stronger to alleviate the pain. 2 Kaswhy and dbbonoso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domi 237 Posted April 17, 2019 Swimming takes a little while but helps. If you don't have swim fins, invest in a pair. They help you have a better balanced workout. 1 dbbonoso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeeBeau 60 Posted April 17, 2019 My joint pain is better when I walk 60 mins everyday at the gym. If I miss a day or do the bike or short walk and weights I have hip pain at night. So I think exercise does help. My ortho did tell me as I lose weight I may experience new or changing pain in my hips and back as my center of gravity changes and or loose skin begins to pull in different ways than the fat did. But he said that would get better too, over time. Hang in there, hopefully it will get better for you. 3 domi, dbbonoso and Kaswhy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KT1981 294 Posted April 17, 2019 I've also experienced this. My chiropractor said it's pretty normal when you fundamentally change the way you move, which we do (often without realizing it) after losing significant amounts of weight. I'm treating mine with chiropractic care and trying to build some muscle to help properly hold joints and things in place. I also have a massage scheduled soon! 2 dbbonoso and domi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmyname 593 Posted April 17, 2019 I have joint pain too. And back pain. Doc said it is likely because our posture and gait fundamentally change when we lose weight and our bodies have to get used to it. He recommended physical therapy, which I'll start in a few weeks. 2 dbbonoso and domi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
