I have bone-spurs poking into my spinal column and arthritis in my ankles and hips. My problem is that my doctor only gives me 30 Tramadol to last for TWO MONTHS, so I end up losing lots of weight for the first two weeks, and then gaining it all back for the other six, because I can't exercise, and I get so depressed about it that I don't really control my eating for that period of time as well.
I am 26, and I have a decent metabolism, my only problem is not being able to get enough exercise. My neurologist has made a recommendation to up my pain meds, but what do I do until then, or if my doctor refuses to do so? I lost almost 80lbs. a few years ago by walking EVERYWHERE, but that is not possible now, unless I have the pills. Please tell me what to do.
Also, if your idea is water-based, I do not have access to a pool, and cannot afford a Y membership as I am on a fixed income.
