and i know people hear me talk abotu reactive arthritis a lot so il give a little summary on it. basically when i was on a diet last summer i got down to around 260 and some change. i was doing really well with salads, chicken, turkey, and tuna. and thats it. ond day i ate a chicken sandwich then i had severe diaria for 2 weeks. as soon as it went away i felt like i had the flu or something, but my joints hurted really bad. especially my neck and lower back. once i wen tot the doctor i explained the situation and he told me that it was a possiblity. perscribed some pain killer and i went about my business. the next few days my joints got so swollen i could barely walk to the bathroom for a month. after seeing a specialist they told me that it was reactive arthritis. and i was prescribed indomethacin.
it helped me out a little but it is a strong med. so it eventualy started eating at my stomach and was givign me heart pains. so i had to lay off the med for a bit and the pain was till there. not as severe but enough to where i couldnt do anything.
so after months of dealing with a sh!tload of pain, and starting out with 10 sets of 10 push ups i worked my way out of it. so just in case you guys wanted to know there it is
