Getting thin hurts!
I am so grateful I had a this surgery, it had given me so many opportunities I didn't even know I was missing.
That being said, I am in so much physical pain that no one can seem to diagnose. I was in a walking boot for 4 months last year(alternating feet) with what ended up being g nerve issues, my knees hurt so much they wake me up at night or I go to bed crying, and now my shoulder blades are so painful I can barely lean back on them. If my husband comes up behind me and rubs my back I yelp in pain.
I am not sure what to do. I have seen my surgeon, pcp and podiatrist with little results (podiatrist did fix feet).
It just sucks. I think it is playing a large part in the depression I am experiencing because I am hurting and exhausted from not sleeping.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am not sure where to go from here and my doctors are beginning to act like I am a seeker because I can't take NSAIDS and they have to prescribe what would be considered something stronger.
I am NO help, but wanted to send you love!! 
Hi - I think you are in greater KC area? I want to recommend my chiro Dr Christina at Adjust Your Health near 135th & Roe if that is doable for you. At least call (Dr Jeff - her husband also chiro - answers the phone). Extremely low cost to go in for a first meeting with some X-ray and lots of discussion what may be going on and come up with a plan and not expensive and she works with insurance. Dr Christina is very gentle and also uses needle less acupuncture. She helped me with sciatica as SMO. I thought I'd have that pain forever but she worked it out and I only do maintenance visit once a month. While losing weight I had some changes -- she kept on top of what was changing. I had never done chiro. After meeting her and doing the plan I was so sorry I had waited so long. I don't know how other chiro docs are but she is fantastic - what was I scared of? I don't think it could hurt and it may help. You can tell her Monica told you to call. Wishing you the best!

Fibro - there may be reasons for that.
some may include, adrenal insufficiency, Low D, SIBO (google that) , Low Iron., low potassium, low calcium-high PTH, low magnesium... etc etc...
beside that- poor spine alignment - I know that as I was losing weight my center of gravity was shifting and it took a while and a many chiro visits, plus yoga to get adjusted and keep that adjustment.
Sometimes now when I get more aches - it is because I forgot my weekly B12 shot..
adding food allergies - being allergic to foods caused inflamatory response inside my body. Inflammation =pain...
I found out that I am allergic to dairy (like in proteins), soy, vanilla, etc etc..
when I do eat some cheese...(I know I am not suppose to) the next day - my face is puffy...and swollen on one side.. Soy - even small amount - make my hands itch first...then if I had more - my scalp itches... and then next 2 days- my gut gets all puffy and sensitive... I can't even imagine what is going on in my gut.
Give me some popcorn- and I get severe spasms of my colon... even before the popcorn gets there...
I got tested for some food allergies. Others - even though they do not show specific allergy, I started having issues after I introduced them back to my diet. (google elimination diet. )
my basic diet was organic cooked chicken with cooked carrots and celery. salt and pepper. 2-3 weeks... it was bland and very boring... But - I use same diet (plus avocado, and coconut oil) even now when my gut gets messed up...
I am not saying your issues are related to food allergies...but they may be...

Your story could have been written by me. I was in constant pain!!!! I tried everything!!! Even bought a hot tub and while I was in it , it helped a little. End of the story was my vitamin D had totally tanked. She started me on 50,000 mg a day and then farther apart. After two weeks at the longest, I was pain free.
Have you had your vitamin D checked? I was severely low and had many of the pains you describe. I would hurt so bad in my low back, hips, and legs that I could not sleep or I would wake up from sleeping. I took vitamin D 50,000 iu per day for two weeks, then weekly. I no longer have the pains at all!
