Surgery. I had been VERY active prior to shoulder surgery...walking every day...gym...and suddenly I was in a lot of pain and confined to bed.

The surgery even affected my job, which was a physically active job, and I wasn't able to continue. I got a job as a corporate customer service rep, because I could handle that while I recuperated...but it involved a lot of sitting at a computer.

@4meAndyou I have been there myself having had 12 different major surgeries and being placed on medical leave or in an office doing nothing post-surgery until you can get into therapy and such. With my First Spinal injury that led to one surgery not to be paralyzed from the waist down and nothing to do but lay around for six months before starting therapy I went from 220 pounds to 260 pounds just laying around and eating out of anxiousness and boredom. The second spinal surgery one and half years later was not nearly as bad removing the hardware around my lower spine allowing me to move and bend again.


I know you pian and anguish.
