I slipped a disc in my lower back two months ago and for a couple of weeks I was completely unable to sit in a chair for more than 2 seconds without screaming in agony. It felt like all the muscles in my hip, buttock, hamstring, knee, calf and ankle had been ripped out and shredded. I'm only just getting back to being able to sit still long enough to create anything.

I can't run, cycle, do any form of aerobics and any excercise I do could put me back flat on my back screaming again. If it goes out again I'll be in hospital so I'm more worried about that than weight gain lol. I just eat less and try to walk a bit more, I try to walk at a fast pace until the pins and needles start in my foot then I slow down until it stops, then speed up again... lol
