I can't imagine anyone with PMR able to do these workouts without pain. I can't do any type of exercise at all without pain or paying for it later. Esp the arms and groin area. You must have a light case or being treated and don't have pain? The first thing I will do if this gets better (treatment or otherwise) is work out. I SO miss it and so does my body!!

I have not tried to go back yet. I still have pain, and in fact, today is worse than yesterday. Im surprised because I got my first post-prednisone blood test back and CRP went from 33 to 3 but I don't feel "normal".
I'm just wondering if I should go back to Orangetheory and go at my own pace. In the class, nobody makes you go fast or lift heavy. Each person determines what to do for themself. I am also wondering if I should give yoga a try or possibly join the Pilates studio. I'm just trying to find guidance on what to do. I also had the DEXA and have osteopenia. I have been told I must do some sort of weight-bearing and resistance work to avoid osteoporosis and decrease my risk of fractures. It gets so complicated, and I want a simple answer.
