Why are you not taking your pain meds. The stress of the pain ups your cortisol levels which can increase your weight as well 

Hang in there! 

I stopped taking my pain meds because they were causing me to retain fluid. I couldn't believe when I stopped taking them, how my appetite decreased............which is a great thing for me. However, I am having a terrible time with my knee that needs a knee repair & I have had to restart taking my anti-inflammatory pills. I'm already wearing a brace & using anti-inflammatory cream on it, but because of having company, I am not resting it. Thank you though for your comments, dzemsta & CrashtestDawnie 

Did you try acupuncture ?  

For my knee, Cahub? No. But have tried Acupuncture in the past from several different 'people' for several diffeent reasons with no success. I have regular deep tissue massages every few weeks, though, & have had for the past 10 years. Those have helped my Fibromyalgia a great deal.
