Pins and needles during exercise?
Neuropathy | Last Active: May 9 1:33am | Replies (94)Comment receiving replies
I get pins and needles (and flaming swords and bolts of lightning) randomly but exercise distracts me from my aches and pains -- I get a break from it, especially when I'm exercising outdoors. It's a fascinating world out there - being part of it is all-absorbing to me. I'm also distracted from pain when I'm with people. The pain hits me the worst when I'm alone. Sometimes I realise that it has been there for awhile, I just didn't notice it while I was with people or with nature. Peggy

I have some relief with compression socks during exercise, thorough hamstring and calf warm up stretches. Water exercise for me is totally painfree and it is great to have a break.

Good evening Peggy @pfbacon. It is nice to connect with you again, Peggy. I want to acknowledge your post about the distractions that you find beneficial.....especially with people or with nature. That is where I want to be and where I am some of the time. Does the distraction take your mind off the pain or just drown it out?
Would you call this a meditative effect of some kind? I want to follow this and even try some connections that might initiate the freedom from pain at least momentarily?
May you be safe and protected.
Chris
