So, this may belong in the weight loss thread, but;
I've started working out. About a month in+dietary changes. I've noticed that my pains are decreasing like a motherfucker. Going up stairs used to hurt lile a sonnuva, but now its tolerable. (yes, I'm morbidly obese but fucking doing something about it now)
I would've figured the first 6 months or so pains would've gotten worse, as my body got used to being put through its paces..But even at 2 weeks I noticed a marked improvement without what I considered drastic weight loss (10lbs at a month)

The first couple of weeks can be brutal. Mind and body both adapt quickly though.
And 10 a month is perfectly good. Even if you are morbidly obese you do not want to drop the weight TOO fast, either. 10 a month is still 120 a year. If you go from 350 to 230 in a year... that's plenty drastic, if you stop to think about it. I mean it will start to taper off. But probably not for a while if you really are heavy.

Sounds like it may just be vasovagal syncope to me (I have witnessed it in some people such as when they would pass out at the sight of needles or blood).
Gastrointestinal bugs are the suck

Any tingling sensations in the cold hand or feet ? As long as they are just cold, there's not much to go on, unless you are totally determined to solve it, however bring it up when you see a doctor - medical advice over the internet is stupid.
@Big_w_powah
Month is around the time you should notice some improvements if you haven't been slacking, so it seems like you are doing well.

My mind was in it after the 3rd workout. That one I went to my full routine in. Felt fucking great. Mental hook right then. How did i not do this shit before??

Wife is bugging me to go to the dr, having a lot of symptoms that I think are stress related (muscle spams in eyes, ice pick headaches, neck/back pain, trouble sleeping, etc). I am very hesitant to go to a dr who really won't be able to do anything for me. But I do need to do something. Thinking maybe or trying yoga or something, lots of people seem to recommend it. Anyone have any recommendations?

DDP Yoga is legit. But you get out what you put in so if you push yourself you can get some pretty amazing flexibility or you can slack and get little out of it. It has helped me alot when I kept at it.

Sounds like he is looking for stress relief. In which case, yoga is good according to my wife.
I recommend weed.

Weeds legal here but illegal federally so that's a no go. For a lot of people

, have you tried massage therapy, etc? My insurance forces a doctor's recommendation but at least you won't have pills if you specifically inform him/her of your expectations. Yoga, etc can work as well without paying out the money but it might make your wife feel better hearing from a PCP.

Icepick headaches and the eye spasms are what would concern me.
Here's the thing about doctors. You don't have to actually take the pills that they throw at you.
And a doctor really might just give you a scrip for xanax or something similar. Which is basically weed for DoD contractors. Shit bro, maybe you can get some valium!
It's ok to take an aspirin when your head hurts, right? And when your head REALLY hurts maybe it's ok to take a super aspirin. You're not gonna turn into a pillhead off xanax. And if you do the yoga maybe you won't even need the stuff for very long.
