From: Rich on 18 Jul 2005 13:34 I am a male 6' 330lbs 47 yrs - I have sleep apnea and use a cpap. For the past year I have been growing increasingly achy, especially in my feet and hands. My feet hurt in every possible way and place - I can barely walk. Went to a Podiatrist and they called it "plantar faciatus" and gave me some $300 shoe inserts that helped for awhile. When they stopped working they didnt have anything else to offer. Went to a rhuematologist and they admit that I have inflammation but dont know why - gave me very strong/expensive anti-inflammatories - which help a bit. Does this sound like anything - is it just my weight (although its doesnt make sense that my hands and elbows hurt also). I hurt all the time, am feeling weak, hard to get out of a chair - is this the same for all fat people - my guess is no - any input is appreciated. Thanks

Normally go swimming on a Tuesday evening but hubby isn't well so don't think I'll be going tonight - guess I'll have to use exercise bike instead!
