I have chronic back pain and Crohn s disease. I am 290 pounds at the moment at only 17. I am a girl. Recently I have been very depresses because of my situation. Doctors say I m too fat, have been since I was a very young girl. What they fail to see is that I eat as healthy as I can (the best in my family actually). I watch everything. I m obsessed with losing weight. The chronic back pain didn t show itself until I was around 14. I always had unexplained nausea. We later learned this was from crohns and back problems (SI joint out of place, disc issues) The back dr said I am too young for surgery. This puts me in the tough situation I am in today. Suffering.. I m not lazy at all. I pray every day that god will give me the strength to exercise like I used to. I can t take back pain meds because it worsens my crohns and without them, I am pretty much immobile. If I try to exercise, I end up in bed in pain the next three days. This is hard for someone my age trying to get an education as well. I m homeschooled because of the pain as well. I need advice. Should I talk to my doctor about this? Do you have any suggestions? Please don t judge me. I have though about diet pills. Any thoughts on that? Please any help at all is useful. I feel almost completely alone. I HATE to think about weight loss surgery bc I don t even think I d qualify, can t afford it, & most of all feel I am strong enough to do this on my own.
