Water excersices are better for your joints but if you dont have a pool or like me, I have a pool but don't like to use it then what? I do some walking...but my feet ususally hurt so bad afterwards that it's a deterrant for the next time. I have started doing some Tai Chi which seems to help and is not jarring on our bones. in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 This is what I heard.. And for $15 a month I can go To the recreation center and use any of the facilities.. There is a walking machine I cant think of the name of It that is suppose to be easy on the joints more than a Treadmill I may try also.. They also have a hot tub.. I see my rheumy next week.. It is a long way but I Am anxious to see what the first appt will be.. All he Really has to go on is my blood test I don't know what He will do first visit.. I have had spinal problems for years From an auto accident in the 80's but I have had back problems most of my adult life..

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 My daughter is a yoga instructor and she thinks that some mild yoga type excercise would be good. I haven't tried it yet, but I am planning on it. My in-laws have a pool also so I think that I will visit it alot more this year. I am ready to anything to help me quit hurting. It has been a horrible winter here in Ok., and I think that has contributed alot to my pain.

I haven't tried it yet, but I am > planning on it. I thought of Yoga also but then thought better of it. Since most of the poses are on the floor (ouch on the knees) and bending like pretzel would not be good for me. So that is why I tried Tai Chi. Kind of looks weird but I put on music and do it when no one is home. When I'm done I can feel it in my arms and legs so it must be doing something. I got a DVD on Tai Chi. It's easy to follow along. in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm not a doctor, but some mild yoga can be gentle on the joints. Just make sure you speak to your rheumy about it first. Also aquatherapy or water aerobics might be a good idea. By the way, the mild yoga might also help relieve stress. Take care Susie from INBet <wyopoodlemom3@...> wrote: That damp cold is hard..
