[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 953830, member: 43498"] I agree with not beating yourself up about it. I have a lot of weight to lose at the moment and I am working on just accepting that and focusing on doing my best. People generally do the best they can with the knowledge and resources they have at the time. I have had slipped discs before so I know the pain :( If at all possible, I recommend getting a referral to a specialist - orthopaedic or neurosurgical - and getting an MRI done. This will help them decide what to recommend. Physiotherapy can help, as well as a steroid injection. Although the latter will raise blood sugars temporarily, I know of someone who had permanent pain relief from it. So I think it's worth getting more info about the nature of your injury and the pros and cons of treatment options. As a last resort some people even have surgery, which of course has pros and cons to be carefully weighed up. Good luck with getting some resolution to your back pain. The same may be true for your ankle injury - specialist referral and tests may help. If not, then voltaren emulgel may help, or even oral medication (although the side effects aren't great). Chronic pain is not good for our physical or mental health. [/QUOTE]
