Re: question about flares

[Guest guest]

probably the weather. i have notice when the weather changes and the seasons

change is my worse time and winter. and over doing it wouldn't help either. we

got to pace our self's. mike

The first day I did GREAT- was able to do all the walking and stairs - a little

slow, but I managed.

The 2nd day I started out only ind of OK, but after a couple hours, I declined.

It was warm, 68 or so- but heavy rain moved in, too. BY 2 PM I could not walk

AT ALL.- not even a little.....Flaring in my left hip (not common for me to

flare in my hip) and my left elbow-----and my right ankle.

My question is- does the walking like that and maybe overdoing things bring on a

flare like that? I seem to notice n days I go to the laundromat, my feet are

very bad the next day- on days when I scrub a lot or polish wood etc a lot, my

wrists, fingers and thumbs flare.

BUT I thought exercise was good?- so why does it hurt me so later? Was it the

weather? Or the walking? Or a coincidence, and flares that would have hapened

no matter what?

Whenever I do any walking, the next day I am not able to walk. In my case,

I have a lot of erosion

of the bones in my ankles and walking aggravates them. Now I use a scooter

for shopping because

if I walk around the store, I get home and can¹t even get my groceries put

away. There is a difference

between getting exercise and overdoing a joint. Try to find out how much

you can do without

causing a flare. Maybe walking all day was to much stress on your joints,

but a few hours wouldn¹t

have affected you that way.
