Hi there.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the thread.

I could only suggest low-impact exercises. This wouldn't involve running. In the gym the cross trainer and exercise bikes would be an option. I think another very good (possibly the best) option could be swimming. This would support your body weight in the water and allow you to exercise at your own pace, taking a rest if/when needed.

Unfortunately I don't know much about painkilling etc so couldn't advise you on that front.

I also think swimming is an excellent low impact exercise...

Has your doctor recommended anything at all?

All this exercise can't be good for ya if we're miserable. Need to start a new thread:

"The MSE slob around, eat and drink whatever you want" thread.

Gets my vote!

Careful now - You'll be classed as a McD spammer. You can't leave out BK, Pizza Hut and others.

The local BK just closed down.. Fear not though, KFC jumped in its grave within a month or two
