I am a 30 y/o woman that was told I have a Degerative Disc Disease at 19 y/o. It affects my L4 L5 S1 S2. I have severe siatic pain and numbness on my right side and it has started in on my left. I have had 2 children and put on 30lbs. with each of them and I can NOT get rid of it. I have tried diets, exercise( I do what exercises I can but I sometimes end up hurting myself more... I am unable to walk or take care of my 2 special needs children sometimes due to the pain and my right leg just won t support me. I don t know what to do. My doctors tell me if I lose the weight it will help but I have been trying for 8 years.... I was considering an abdominalplasty because it would help tighten my stomache muscles where my back muscles are failing and help with the excess weught I can t get rid of, so it would reduce the extra strain on my back..... Please help me
Hello, First, if you take hormonal therapy for contraception or replacement therapy, you should ask a gynecologist for help. Because the higher dose can disturb the metabolism of your body resulting in the accumulation of fat. Second, if you have a systemic disease such as hypertension you should receive medical treatment, reduce fat and salt intake.  You should take vitamins B complex once per day after meals, Benfotiamine 40 mg twice per day after meals. If you did not respond in a month, you should ask a specialist in neurosurgery for help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
