Stretch and self massage your knees before and after walking. Also heating pads are my best friend after walking a distance. Keep walking as much as you can within your limitiation. Don't be afraid, you don't want to loose muscle tone or get stiffer. Limitations suck I know but do the best with what you can. It is frustrating, but remember you are wonderful just the way you are!

I do short bouts of walking. 2 minutes here 3 minutes there.

I can't walk very far I can't get down in the bath tub I was told to try warm water therapy I am going to go to the pool at the club to see if that helps I hope it does right now they are running test for acid indigestion I have gerd can't take medicine until next week after my test

Yes, I am limited to a block a day. I hate Walmart because I always need something in one end of the store and another in the opposite end. Thank goodness my husband doesn't mind shopping. I get exercise and relief by going to an arthritis pool to do water exercises or walking. If it isn't up to 88° each day I get terribly stiff from the cold. Other fitness centers have much better set-ups, but they're too expensive and too far for me to drive there. If I let myself miss a day in the water, I stress a little.

Bonjour Ammelie 1123,

Moi je ne marche pas beaucoup car j'ai des crampes aux pieds, et des maux de jambes et de bas du dos et je me fatigue très vite. Disons que lorsque je marche environs quelques minutes, je deviens fatiguée et essoufflée très vite. Cela ne m'encourage pas du tout à marcher plus, mais je pense qu'il faut commencer tranquillement et augmenter un petit peu à la fois. Je n'utilise pas encore de chaise roulante ni de canne pour marcher. J'espère que je pourrai m'éviter cela. Bonne soirée!
