To exercise or not to exercise, that's the question

For me exercise is good. Yes I do have some pain, but it is better than no exercise.

Exactly! I think exercise should be encouraged rather than to say "take it easy." My physical therapist only says if it hurts don't power through the pain. Pain just means you shouldn't exercise so intensely and pain doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise
Exercise is one of those things that is easy to less exercise and hard to do more exercise.
The weird thing about exercise is that the more exercise you do the easier it gets when it becomes part of a daily routine. One exercise session and done doesn't do much good and hurts the next day. When you continue to do exercise every day it hurts less.
