I got hurt 8 years ago when I fell. I shattered my left hip and I still hurt most of the time. I haven't been able to really exercise, but now I am starting to realize I need to now. I hope this works because I am now getting higher blood pressure and problems breathing when I over exert myself. My blood pressure most of my life has been 120 over 76 approximately. :(

My husband had a very severe ankle injury in Oct of 06 and was in chronic pain all of the time. He started to work out a bit and is feeling better. Hang in there and god luck!
