I have insoles in my shoes and it made a lot of difference to my walking once I got used to them. That was before my latest fibro flare ....but I am sure without them I would be worse when I do walk.

Thanks hope all goes well for you too x

Hi, I had a very good experience with physio and it made me feel better boh physically and mentally. I then had to take break for an operation and start again. Be careful not to overdo things. Your physio should know your limits, but my last session started off a flare. So just be careful, listen to your body and all will be fine. Enjoy It!

I attend Physio, It's a mixed blessing. Last week and the week before I was so exhausted afterwards, that I had to keep stopping and leaning against the wall until I felt able to move on. Getting out to the Taxi bay took nearly half an hour! Two years ago I could make it in three minutes!

I quite enjoy Physio, it gets me out of the house, and the exercise bike is quite good, aparf from the saddle, which seriously needs a gel-pad! I get to talk to folk and learn quite a lot information wise, that ordinarily I wouldn't.

They have ordered me one of those four wheeled walker thingies with a seat! Dunno what I'm supposed to do with it! (Suggestions on a postcard, please! Lol!)

Cheers, Midori

Went to physio recently coz my shoulders and arms have become unbearable with pain. After 5 months on waiting list, finally went and was given some exercises that made it worse. Went back and told NOT TO BOTHER COMING BACK FOR ANYTHING becaused it is likely to be the FMS and the nerve pain going berserk and theres nothing they can.do. So does that mean if I break anything not to go back either. Was really upset by their reaction and just kept crying.

[bbstport]

awe no you must have felt really bad x

[trekster22]

Mine was overenthusiastic and i think made things worse. Developing a routine is really difficult for physio, See if there is a Fm clinic at your local hospital and i hope you get an

understanding physio,

[bbstport]
