I'm at 278 pounds now and while my clothes feel pretty loose to the point where I need to declutter some of my pieces because of it, I'm still waiting for the "chronic pain is reduced" part to kick in.
if anything, my chronic pain is getting LOUDER, to the point where I'm forced to take pain medication more often and I had to ask for the big bottle of Tylenol from Costco (I'm not overdosing I prommy and using them as last resort atm)
I just hope the new interdisciplinary doctor I see in November can tell me my options for a solution on that front.
