It WILL! Imagine yourself in the grocery store, trying to do your shopping, with SIXTEEN full one-gallon milk jugs strapped to your body. Do you think your back would hurt from carrying them around? (One gallon of liquid weighs 8 pounds.)  

PS - that wasn't meant to sound unkind. I weighed 302 before GBS, and that's how I "measured" my weight. I also said I was wearing a 100-pound COAT - which was the reason I was so HOT all the time! 

I used to put four cases of bottled water in my shopping cart before anything else. It took up space and helped me stay focused on the strength it took to push that around even on wheels. I need to start doing that again. 

I know the weight is a factor what worries me is the pinched nerves and bulging disk. I’m praying that the relief from the weight coming off will make those issues less noticeable on a daily bases. And I won’t get started on the ankle and feet issues lol. 🦄 

I would love to offer a certainty but won't. It will help some I'm sure. I've experienced more stamina at a lower weight but would still have the occasional pinched nerve episodes. I'm sure those lower back strengthening exercises I never did would have helped. Hopefully you'll get some relief as well.
