I’m so appreciative of all your work on mysteries surrounding systemic musculoskeletal issues. I must add that autoimmune disorders from lack of diagnosis, pain, depression & anxiety definitely exacerbate the fit into this mix.
I’ve done all of the recommended physical activity plus dance, triathletics, many years of meditational & spiritual work, yet wound up with PMR, ME/FM, & osteoarthritis, only controlled by Prednisone & it’s related oral meds and 4 biologics.
Now the prednisone has damaged my eyes, dental, spine C to S plus other essential musculoskeletal & joint health. I’ve seen 80+ drs, therapists, hypnotists, & voodoo healers.
I’m in need of serious help.
Three surgeries on both shoulders, severe arthritis everywhere, scoliosis, etc. I am wondering about strength training because Osteoporosis is taking a toll. Is it ok to just use a two lb weight for the free weight exercises? Thank you
Check with your Dr before doing any exercises as everyone is different and depending on the severity of the osteoporosis you might do some harm.
Thank you @johnbishop! Will lookup the links provided. I was doing seated twist and couple of other twisting exercises and read somewhere that no bending or twisting exercises for osteoporosis.
