Subject: Exercise

Hi All
I just wondered what people with RA or OA do for exercise. When the docs or psyhio's tell you to keep moving, the joints need to be mobile. I stand there thinking to myself, i wonder what you would do if you had my problem and i tell you to keep moving. They say you have to move through the pain, do gentle exercises. Well i do not swim, i go for a gentle walk, if i am lucky i can do a whole 20minutes, my legs and groins are killing me, my back feels as if it is breaking, but i remember their words, you must keep mobile. I have got a low impact dvd for exercise, which is very good, but still i get into pain after the first 10minutes, i certainly cannot do all of the exerises on the dvd. Any other ideas?

Monica

Hi monica
were all different with the amount of execise we can do. The best thing you can do is listen to your body and take things gentelly and build up slowly. You'll know when youve done too much.
Some times alls we can do is just get up in a morning. Im pleased when i can do more.. housework is excersise . walking is fine too.
You just have to listen to your body.
