Partly.i have long term sciatica. Nothing seems to help so far.i thought losing weight would help. But it hasn't. I went to the pain clinic last year. He said, extra weight hasn't caused the sciatica, but the dr, may consider a one off, guided injection under theatre conditions if I get my bmi under 41..my bmi is now 35...can't even get hold of the secretary "staff shortages " ffsI do feel much better though from losing weight, but the pain Is still shocking..what do people take (or do)...thank you

Hi Bookworm,

Yeah so I read somewhere that for every 1lb of extra weight it’s the equivalent of like an extra 10kg on your spine (don’t quote me it’s “something” like that).

When I was slimmer my pain didn’t reduce but the regularity of my flare ups did.

I mentioned Mounjaro specifically as I’ve ready that it has done other things besides losing weight.

I appreciate your reply though, I hope you manage to get some help :)
