I just had back surgery a month or so ago and am trying to build myself up. I was very inactive for the last couple years. Walking or just being in my feet hurt. I think my back muscles suffered so it still hurts to walk very far but in top of that I get winded when going for a walk. I guess you just have to accept where you really are and build from there.
