I SEEMED TO HAVE HIT A PLATEAU
Hi everyone:
I have lost 65 pounds so far. I don't know whether this is good or not, but I have not lost any weight since before Easter. I have been off work since I fell or was tripped at work by a student on Feb. 16th. which I fractured my left humerus and injured my knee, the knee has arthritis. The Orthopedic surgeon that I have been seeing has given me two steroid injections so far and the last shot does not seem to be helping. Everything that I have read states that steroids taken orally or by injection can cause weight gain. While I can't say that I have gained weight I can't help to wonder if this is the reason that I have not been able to lose any weight. I have not been able to exercise due to my knee swelling when I have tried to walk, so I know the lack of exercise has contributed to my ability not to lose weight. Also I am still taking my liquid debetes medication, because my sugar levels are still to high to come off the meds. What I have been reading also says that steroid can interfere with debetes. If anyone knows anything about this could you please offer me some suggestions? This is getting very frustrating!!!!
