Arthritis and Exercise

elisagrace Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/11/17	2004/11/17, 02:32 AM Hi, I'm new here. I have 3 kinds of arthritis, including fibromyalgia. Does anyone here have arthritis? What kinds of exercises do you find you are able to do? Any tips on keeping going? Thanks for a great site. Grace

I would suggest talking to your doctor first no matter what you decide to do and a good doctor should even have exercises you can do. My friend has had both ankle replacements, hip replacement twice and can hardly move her wrists or turn her head and she enjoyed the program. With fibromyalgia and arthritis exercise can often help with the stiffness and fatigue. Good luck! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
