I am having alot of pain issues and see a pain management clinic. I do have osteoarthritis of the hips, knees, left thumb base, right great toe and have generative disc disease of the cervical and lumbar spine with the lumbar spine in pretty bad shape. The MRI comfirmed I have bulging disc in the L1-L4 and a very large herniated disc with displaced nerve root in the region of the L5-S1. My PA at the pain clinic said I will always have pain of some sort but it will help to lose some weight. I agree but this has always been a battle for me. I am thinking of doing the Mayo Clinic Diet. Anyone else have experience with this? I trust the Mayo Clinic as I have some personal experiences with them with my father a few years ago. I have ordered the book already and just waiting for it to arrive.

milly,

This is a excellent book for someone who wants to embark on a healthy, effective diet. There are no magic bullets, only a sensible approach to weight loss. It provides helpful tips on how to address some of the common reasons people don't lose weight. The book is well written by the staff at The Mayo Clinic. I highly recommend the book. I have purshased it myself.

Good luck and congratulations for making a wise choice is losing that extra weight.

Kindly,

Kitt
