I have had back surgery, and still have chronic pain in lower back and left leg. i need to lose weight (alot) but walking and exercise hurts. what do?

Needs reevaluation: How long ago was the surgery? If it was not recent, have the back pain reevaluated. Speak with the surgeon. Repeat an MRI to help determine the cause. Consider physical therapy or targeted injections if they are deemed to be appropriate.
