Degenerative Disc Disease

my doctor told me that so many people think that even if they felt 50% better they would be happy but on the other side of surgery if you are not pain free you wout be happy.

i dont have a lot of actual back pain so the doc said because of the sheer nature of the surgery it could maybe give me some relief but also might create back problem as well

i know i cant go on much longer with this pain. i know taking off some of the weight i gained would help but cant stand longer than10 minutes at a time and less if im doing something and the knee will be longer before it totally heals.

i start meeting with the dietitian at my docs office next week to work on better eating habits to try and take some off
