Hello - from another Sue. The goal here is for each of us to do what we can, and to encourage each other. Some days I walk, others not so much. Like today -occupying myself in the house because it is 40F and raining. When I don't get out, I try to do an extra set of stretching exercises to keep the pain away in back, neck & shoulders.
Do you use any aid when you walk? Before hip replacement, I used a cane so I could lean when I hurt, but now I have too much arthritis to grip it. A friend of mine finds lightweight hiking poles helpful - he says a cane makes him lean to one side, and a walker makes him hunch over. I have only used them when mountain hiking in the past, but may give them a try again.
