Replies to "@ronvt Thanks for your response. We do have a pool in our development. I'm not sure..."
@heisenberg34 Yesterday I finally was able to take a walk outdoors because I am in the mountains for a few weeks and away from my primary home which presently has the third most hazardous air quality in the world because of major fires smoke drifting down over the majority of our state (Minnesota). The walk was short but then I visited our pool and heated hot tub with jets. I allowed the jets to blast my legs from the knees on down to the bottom of my feet. I couldn't stay in too long because the heat really was very painful after a while (IPN bothers me primarily on my ankles and feet). I then went into the pool which cooled off my legs. I did 15 minutes of legs exercises - I was in at 3 ft. deep - from squats to single leg stretching. THE PAYOFF - I had a great nights sleep and, my legs/feet were pain free!!
The morale of this long drawn out story is that for some of us, not all (for numerous reasons) exercise and mobility on a daily basis can do wonders!
