Default I'm almost exactly where you are Martin

2 years ago I gained significant weight after being quite fit for long time, im obese but not to extend, I'm 105 kg /230lbs, but when I was fit I weight 85kg, so it's really 20kg /45lbs of fat on me, not little, but not that much
Anyway my wardrobe wasn't uptated so I started to wear my pants below my waist and using a belt, so I'm assuming the belt compressed on the nerve and viola
My symptoms are not very severe, it's numbness and burning/tingling sensation rather than pain, I feel some pain but mild and rarely occurring
Anybody in same shoes? I read some of your stories and it seems you guys deal with it for years and compared to you my symptoms are still a picnic!
Do you think I may suspect it will get worse or in contrary when I know what's the problem and I take of it by losing weight and wearing loose clothes it may just resolve itself?

All the best,
Martin
And having a long wait to see my doctor. So here I am looking for help. I am wondering if your doctor told you what exercises to do and not to do. I find that I can walk without difficulty but then I am wondering if I SHOULD be walking for long distances. I am doing the exercises I find online and losing weight also. I find that sleeping is a problem as that is when the thigh starts to ache. I appreciate your post and maybe we can move along together on this journey.
