Strength training really improved my 70 year old mother's fibro, as well as doing cardio and daily yoga. of course, you will have to wait until you have resolved this upper arm issue, but consider starting some light resistance training. -------------- A man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres and infallibly prevails at last.
