A Golden Oldie
Hi. I was diagnosed with a 2.5 pituitary tumor and Cushing’s Disease in late April. I had surgery and it was removed in early May.
I was feeling fantastic until mid-July. Now I have pain constantly. My joints and muscles hurt so badly that I can barely walk.
I was so happy to have the diagnoses after 25 years of complaining to doctors about my symptoms. However, I am in so much pain now that I almost wish I had never had the surgery.
On the up side, I’ve lost almost 40 lbs. Help!!
Any advise would be incredibly helpful.

My grandmother had the same problem. Make sure your medications are where they should be. A lot of times she wasn’t getting enough hormones and steroids. If you’re still hurting do not be afraid to talk to your doctor. And if they won’t listen find another doctor. It is your life and you have to live it. Congrats on the weight loss I wish you nothing but the best!! <3 Cassandra

Yoga saw me thru my recovery and I still practice. It helps a great deal. You can start from a very weak place and still have benefits. While it helps strengthen you more each day, and helps with all joint/bone/muscle issues.
