I have slow digestion and a pregnant belly. I've put it off for years as I have chronic pain which renders me in bed. My BMI has increased from 18 BMI to 29 BMI because exercise makes the pain worse and disables me to the point of bed for two or more days.
I am fed up with the sedentary life from chronic pain. Every test under the sun has been performed: CT, Ultrasound, MRI, laparoscopic surgery. I'm normal! Being diagnosed with "Chronic Pain Syndrome" was at first comforting in that my pain wasn't mental. Then ... Only God can create something from nothing. I am actively seeking the cause.
I scheduled an appointment with a Urologist/Gynecologist in the Urology Department. With very gentle physical therapy, I am slowly stretching the pelvic tightness using a medically devised Vaginal Wand. The wand is intravaginal and shaped so one can push and massage the tissue deeper in the pelvis. I'm not saying this will help everyone. See the specialist first.
This is for informational purposes only. Always follow your doctor's instructions. Going straight to the wand without your doctor's instructions -- you may make matters worse.
If you're not satisfied with your physician, seek a second opinion.
I have begun a digestive enzyme which has increased the motility and greatly reduced constipation. My belly isn't as hard, but I'm still fat. Slow walking should slowly help reduce the fat. I am fat and have no problem saying so.
@nomanmedico Perhaps you did not mean to offend but telling someone they look a little overweight without knowing their weight or seeing them in person is not very responsible and most likely offensive. Perhaps asking if the person is overweight and then explaining how that might be relevant would be a better approach. It may be that this is likely to be more offensive to a woman than to a man but having someone say this to you on this forum could result in someone not wanting to participate any longer. I would not be able to tell anything about someone's weight from a tiny head shot like the one posted here. I really don't mean to be hypercritical but just trying to help encourage meaningful, courteous discussion.
