Hi Nancy,
I used to do all of that. My hands hurt so bad in the morning I can hardly brush my teeth, let alone drive., or get up and down off the yoga mat. It's not pretty. Massage us comforting with the right person and music. It's so hot here, I don't go out much and am careful of isolating. I'll look for a geriatric group. I'm in Las Vegas if that's permissable to say. Take care.

Does Tylenol help? I have osteoarthritis in my hands, so I can relate. My right hand is practically useless when doing anything that requires strength and precision.

I get you on the heat! I'm in southern New Mexico and have to plan my outings carefully. You are right to remember not to isolate.

Maybe chair Yoga is the way to go? I started doing Yoga during the Covid lock down - thankful that I had an established practice before damn PMR decided to derail my life. I'm certain that kept me from becoming totally immobile. It took 3 months of Prednisone before I could edge back into Yoga on a daily basis. Now I'm almost back to pre PMR level.

I hope you are WELL soon!
