Such painful joints and muscles today

[Heltadelta]

I went to Aqua robics on Monday and ached very much on Tuesday and Wednesday. When Thursday came around I really didn't want to go I felt very tired. But I had promised I would meet a friend at the pool. So I went and enjoyed the class, but ached very much in my back afterwards. I had an early night last night taking an extra morphine tablet in the hopes Id get some sleep.

However today I ache badly all over and have a splitting headache and I am so tired to the point of exhaustion.

I need to go and lie down for a while as that is the only thing that helps with the pain.

I try to keep active, I try to keep cheerful I'm always smiling but inside I am so desperately unhappy and in so much pain.

What do I do carry on or give up a veg out in an armchair for the rest of my life???

Sorry for the moan.

Hi

They do say some exercise and stretching is good

but what works for one doesn't work for everyone

Maybe Arco robics is a bit too much try a gentle swim

Have you had meds looked at recently

Hi Rose.

I have talked to my GP about my meds till I am blue in the face. He will not listen to me and will not even consider changing them even when I tell him they don't work and I am in a lot of pain.

Hi sorry to hear your so sore,

I would say keep going because your enjoying it when you are there,but happen only do 1/2 the class there no where does it say you have to do it all. I have been to many and what I did was did the first exercise had a rest and missed the next one then joined in every other one.

I stood at the side of the pool so I could lean on the side and not get in anybody's way.

See how that's goes before giving in.

Try just swimming if you can't manage 1/2 the class, that you can do at your own pace.

But don't forget you have already worn your self out so maybe have a good rest over the weekend.

All the very best keep going slowly.

Have a great weekend if u can

Dear Soox

I will talk to my GP about physio and hydrotherapy.

I do like swimming so maybe I can give that a try.

Hi. Your reply makes sense and I will certainly give half a lesson a go instead of the whole 45 minute class.

I am reluctant to give up Aqua as its a social event as well as an exercise. Plus we do have such a good laugh which I think is important.

Thank you for your reply.

I use pilates/yoga and cardio exercise.

Everything aches plus I don't want to do it 😄

I know how you feel. My hips ache badly today so Ive got a rest from fibro today. But my hips ache all the way down my legs to knees.

Try to keep going, I cant do yoga or pilates as I cannot get down onto my knees.
