Hi! Migizii here.....the arthritis in my body is widespread but has only been really impacting me for about the past year, after breaking my foot (which set off the extreme arthritis I didn’t know about and had not been bothering me before the break). Eight months later it healed (osteoporosis delayed healing) and steroid injections to settle the pain later; walking a few blocks and going to a therapy pool have been what I’ve been able to accomplish, thus far. I also work full time which makes me pretty tired, so it’s hard to keep myself motivated.

@migizii, the pool was my savior when I rehabbed from my ankle fusion. The combination of being low impact and the cool water on my swollen joint was the perfect combo to ease back in to being active. I need to make myself go to the pool more often because of how good it feels on all of my bad joints. Understandably, life will give us obstacles, but anything is always a good start.
