@tweetypie13 Good question whether on what type of pain. I don't know about cortisol withdrawal--how would I know? I think I might be over doing it in the pool. I do pool exercises and some breast stroke. I use a pool noodle for resistance. During the summer I do this at least a half hour a day. We have a pool. During the winter I go to the YMCA but not daily and I stay longer. I think that is the difference and it is exercise pain and stiffness the next day. I will try to go more often and do fewer sets. This week I plan to just do weight machines daily and see how that goes. The town I live in is not large. We have good options for physical therapy for not sure how specialized. I will check into that.
