How do you know it has anything to do with it, though? I injured my foot about 18 months ago when I weighed about what you did (267). Since then, I've lost about 50 pounds and the foot is worse now than it was. I have never felt like weight made as much much difference when rest, rehab and getting stronger for any aches and pains I've had has. I feel like this is one of those myths of modern medicine that is rarely examined. |
