I feel like an air balloon and look like I'm 4months preganant. What can I safely do to lose this weight? I am a 69 year old female.

Steroids will do that to you. And losing the weight will be a little difficult, but you can do it. Watch how much you eat. Stick with fresh fruits, vegetables, and a little protein at each meal. You have to be committed to doing it. Vary your diet so you don't get bored.
Get out and walk. It will help your back AND your weight. The docs told my hubby the same thing. He's gained 40 pounds from the steroid injections and pills for his back. So much extra wieght doesn't do the back any good either.

I too have gone thru this, although I am quite thin and didn't gain weight. These injections are cortisone and this medication usually causes weight gain. Personally, I do hope you get some relief. I had a total of four and never obtained relief and since my disks are inoperable, I made up my mind to just keep pushing myself and to never give up. Sure we have to have medication, but I refuse to take addictive drugs on a regular basis (only occasionally). My goal is to walk and keep on walking. When I started, I could only walk for 6 minutes, but now I have gained a lot of strength. Additionally, I do not lift anything over 10 pounds. I have a difficult time but we have no choice but to press on. Good luck and God Bless.
