Resistance Training and PMR

I bought resistance bands a few months ago but using them has caused pain the day after so I'll be leaving them for a while. Also can't wait to start on lifting weights I've bought but am too scared to try them yet. We do need to strengthen muscles though, so I'd like to hear other people's experiences with resistance training too.

It is hard to tell if it is just using muscles again that has caused the pain or is it a flare? I have finally achieved an ESR and CRP in normal range. Slow taper.

If you are out of shape, which we are, you will always have a small degree of pain the next day after working out. Extreme pain is a problem but some pain means you are building muscle. At least that has been my experience.
